Article Synopsis
- Loss of appetite, also known as anorexia, is a common issue in cancer patients, impacting up to 70% of those with advanced cancer, making treatment challenging for healthcare providers.
- A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture and moxibustion as treatments for cancer-related anorexia, but findings indicate that the evidence is inconclusive.
- While acupuncture has shown promise for other cancer-related symptoms, such as nausea, more high-quality, large-scale studies are required to determine its effectiveness for appetite loss in cancer patients.
