Many patients believe that good nutrition when suffering from cancer will provide nutrients for cancer cells to grow faster, but they do not know that 20-30% of deaths in cancer are caused by cachexia.

Anorexia is the most common symptom in most cancer patients, arising from digestive disorders, anxiety, depression or side effects of treatment methods. Anorexia causes cancer patients to not receive enough nutrition during treatment, reduces response to treatment and makes them susceptible to side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
