Does prostate cancer itself cause involuntary weight loss or is this a consequence of the treatment? If any one knows and could point out a good site that discusses this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

Yes, prostate cancer patients sometimes suffer from a condition called cachexia. According to the National Cancer Institute, “It is estimated that half of all cancer patients experience cachexia, the rapid loss of a large amount of weight along with fatigue, weakness, and loss of appetite. Cachexia is a serious problem among many patients who have advanced cancer.†It's common for prostate cancer patients to lose weight during treatment because foods may taste different, or they just may not feel like eating. Here is an excellent website which discusses cachexia and proper treatment for this condition: http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Hydrazine.html Hope this helps.
