Core Tip	Cachexia in pancreatic cancer is frequently described and reduces survival and quality of life of the concerned patients. Despite intense pre-clinical and clinical research activities, there are still no pharmaceutical agents with proven effectiveness in the long term. Furthermore, it is evident that only multimodal concepts can improve patients’ outcome. Therefore, the current pharmacological and nutritional therapy options are reviewed and a stepwise and pragmatic approach will be presented to facilitate and standardize the treatment of cachexia in pancreatic cancer patients. This strategy combines nutritional, dietary, pharmacological and as well physical and psychological methods.
