Abstract
<h4>Objective</h4>This article systematically reviewed intervention strategies for cancer-related sarcopenia (CRS), providing evidence for researchers to develop targeted treatments.<h4>Methods</h4>PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies between 2015 and 2025, followed by literature screening and content analysis.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 3,566 articles were initially identified, and 18 randomized controlled trials (published between 2016 and 2025; sample sizes ranging from 15 to 232) were ultimately included. CRS interventions were categorized into four types: nutritional, exercise, pharmacological, and multidisciplinary.<h4>Conclusion</h4>A CRS intervention needs an integrated approach that combines nutrition, exercise, pharmacology, and a multidisciplinary team (MDT) to improve patients' functional outcomes and quality of life. Future research should focus on precision approaches and translational medicine.
