Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Autonomic nervous system dysfunction (AD) is a common syndrome in patients with advanced cancer. It is associated with decreased survival in several patient populations, including diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and neurological diseases. Based on this evidence, we hypothesized that autonomic dysfunction is associated with decreased survival in patients with advanced cancer.
