Abstract
Malnutrition in cancer patients has a multifactorial origin. Will depend on the patient, tumour type, treatment received and the anorexia-cachexia syndrome onset, which is the maximum degree of malnutrition. Cachexia occurs as a consequence of the interaction between the tumour and the patient, leading to activation of different mediators that will produce important changes in the metabolism of the patient. Children with severe weight loss are not associated to lower survival, but their quality of life will be worse.
