Colorectal Cancer, Cancer Cachexia
Structural Characteristics of Trunk and Limb Muscles in Cachectic Colorectal Cancer Patients
Until now, cancer is still associated with high morbidity and mortality, and is therefore a big issue for the public health. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in developed countries.

Cachexia
Muscle Wasting in Cancer (MWIC)
One way cancer affects people is through weight loss. During this weight loss (called cachexia), all types of body tissue are lost, but there is a greater rate of muscle loss than fat.
