The Impact of Non-bone Metastatic Cancer on Musculoskeletal Health
Current Osteoporosis Reports(2024)
摘要
The purpose of this review is to discuss the musculoskeletal consequences of cancer, including those that occur in the absence of bone metastases. Cancer patients frequently develop cachexia, a debilitating condition reflected by weight loss and skeletal muscle wasting. The negative effects that tumors exert on bone health represents a growing interest amongst cachexia researchers. Recent clinical and pre-clinical evidence demonstrates cancer-induced bone loss, even in the absence of skeletal metastases. Together with muscle wasting, losses in bone demonstrates the impact of cancer on the musculoskeletal system. Identifying therapeutic targets that comprehensively protect musculoskeletal health is essential to improve the quality of life in cancer patients and survivors. IL-6, RANKL, PTHrP, sclerostin, and TGF-β superfamily members represent potential targets to counteract cachexia. However, more research is needed to determine the efficacy of these targets in protecting both skeletal muscle and bone.
