Abstract
Anorexia is a common problem in advanced cancer, part of the cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome. Although the etiology is multifactorial, symptoms suggestive of gastroparesis are often present in patients with cancer anorexia. We have successfully used metoclopramide, a prokinetic agent, to stimulate appetite in advanced cancer and relieve other dyspeptic symptoms associated with anorexia.
