A pilot study on safety and pharmacokinetics of infliximab for the cancer anorexia/weight loss syndrome in non-small-cell lung cancer patients
Weight loss predicts a poor prognosis for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) is a mediator of this weight loss, yet no studies have tested infliximab, an IgG monoclonal an...
