Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of Hochuekkito (TJ-41), a Japanese herbal medicine, on inflammation and nutritional status in cancer patients, particularly focusing on malnutrition and muscle loss (sarcopenia).
- Researchers analyzed 99 patients over 3 months, observing a significant reduction in the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) in those with gastrointestinal cancer, especially in patients with metastatic disease.
- The findings suggest that TJ-41 could be beneficial as a complementary treatment for gastrointestinal cancer by potentially reducing inflammation and helping manage muscle loss.
