The statement that NPY activities regulating a patient’s nutritional risk and status have greater prognostic importance than those favoring cancer growth and migration is also supported by the observation that similar NPY cut-off values were predictive of both increased nutritional risk at the 3-month visit (<661.9 pg/mL, Figure 1) and worse survival during the average 3.6 years of follow-up (<661.7 pg/mL; Figure 2). The gene discussed is NPY; the disease is cancer.
