Summary

This study measures how often cancer patients in a supportive care clinic experience cachexia (unintentional weight loss and appetite loss) and examines the emotional toll on both patients and their primary caregivers. Researchers will track weight changes and use questionnaires to assess anxiety, depression, and appetite. The goal is to better understand these issues to help reduce stress for patients and families.
