Cancer cachexia, a complex metabolic disorder syndrome, is characterized by skeletal and muscular wasting, anorexia, and immune dysfunction. Patients with advanced cancer often develop this condition, which significantly compromises quality of life. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is classified as "deficiency fatigue," associated with organ decline and deficiencies in qi-blood-yin-yang balance. This article starts from the perspective of recent treatments of cancer cachexia using both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and studies the diagnosis and treatment of cancer cachexia through these two approaches, with the aim of providing reference for clinical treatment.
