Basic objectives -Others

In the terminal stage of cancer, fluid retention often occurs and causes distress. However, the mechanism of fluid retention is unknown. Recently, it has been shown that vascular endthelial glycocalyx is involved vascular permeability. Glycocalyx destruction is caused by systemic inflammation. Cancer cachexia is present in 80% of patients with advanced cancer. Systemic inflammation is a major contributor to cancer cachexia, but it is not known how it affects glycocalyx.
Glycocalyx is composed of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. Some studies have been conducted using the constituent factors syndecan-1 and heparan sulfate as biomarkers.
In this study, we aim to elucidate the role of glycocalyx destruction by cancer cachexia by evaluating the plasma biomarker of glycocalyx, and by evaluating fluid retention using a body composition analyzer. And we will also discuss whether syndecan-1/heparan sulfate is a predictor of prognosis.
