Unintended Loss of Weight
When your immune system works hard in attacking cancer cells, the human body produces little proteins called cytokines that promote fat degradation in the body, reducing the amount of muscle mass and signal the brain to lessen appetite causing inexplicable weight loss. These drastic fluctuations in weight can also be a sign of other serious diseases like colitis, hepatitis and HIV/AIDS, so be sure to consult your doctor to determine the cause immediately.
