For example, the Glasgow prognostic score, which integrates CRP and albumin levels, provides a straightforward and objective framework for assessing and managing cancer cachexia.21 A novel cachexia classification system based on the modified Glasgow prognostic score was used to classify cancer cachexia into four different stages: no cachexia, undernourishment, precachexia, and refractory cachexia. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and cancer.
