Summary

This study tests whether early, personalized nutritional support and a simple home exercise program can prevent weight loss and improve quality of life in 200 adults with lung, colorectal, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer starting palliative chemotherapy. Participants receive guidance from a dietitian throughout treatment. Researchers will compare their outcomes to a historical group that received standard care.
