In order to inform future research and practice, we undertook a systematic review of factors associated with loss of muscle mass, and the relationship between muscle function and muscle mass in lung cancer, a common condition associated with poor outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a computerised systematic literature search on five databases.

Sarcopenia, as defined by reduced muscle mass alone, was found to be very prevalent in patients with lung cancer, regardless of body mass index, and where present was associated with poorer functional status and overall survival. There were diverse studies exploring molecular and metabolic factors in the development of loss of muscle mass; however, the precise mechanisms that contribute to sarcopenia and cachexia remain uncertain. The effect of nutritional supplements and ATP infusions on muscle mass showed conflicting results. There are very limited data on the correlation between degree of sarcopenia and muscle function, which has a non-linear relationship in older non-cancer populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Loss of muscle mass is a significant contributor to morbidity in patients with lung cancer. Loss of muscle mass and function may predate clinically overt cachexia, underlining the importance of evaluating sarcopenia, rather than weight loss alone. Understanding this relationship and its associated factors will provide opportunities for focused intervention to improve clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2013-003697","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,2]],"date-time":"2014-01-02T20:19:55Z","timestamp":1388693995000},"page":"e003697","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":94,"title":["The assessment and impact of sarcopenia in lung cancer: a systematic literature review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Jemima","family":"Collins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Noble","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Palliative Medicine, Cardiff University, Cardiff, South Wales, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Chester","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Oncology, Cardiff University, Cardiff, South Wales, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernadette","family":"Coles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Research Wales Library, Velindre NHS Trust, Cardiff, South Wales, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Byrne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Centre, Cardiff University, Cardiff, South Wales, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(08)70153-0"},{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1078-0432.CCR-08-2242"},{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clnu.2011.08.008"},{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0037563"},{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/bjc.2012.350"},{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afq034"},{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1532-5415.2002.50216.x"},{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.aje.a009520"},{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamda.2011.07.004"},{"key":"2025121401175076000_4.1.e003697.10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cherin P Voronska E Fraoucene N .
