Acute Inflammatory Response• the soluble protein mediators of the acute phase
inflammatory response are termed cytokines.
• Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and Interleukin-1 (IL-1) are the principal mediators of this response. Both induce IL-6, which is the key regulatory cytokine of hepatic acute phase protein synthesis.
• End organ level regulators of the inflammatory response continue to be a focus of study.

HypothesisHypothesis
If fish oil (EPA) stabilizes weight by suppressing metabolic changes in
cancer, EPA in combination with energy and protein will result in weight gain.

ConclusionConclusion• It appears to be the combination of energy and
protein with EPA and antioxidants is effective in improving nutritional status in patients with cancer-induced weight loss
• Need for biological markers of oral supplement consumption
• Need for further randomized trials
