Summary
This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive technique called auricular acupressure (using small pellets on the ear) can improve appetite and prevent weight loss in people with advanced stomach, esophageal, or pancreatic cancer. Researchers will enroll 66 patients to see if the treatment is practical and acceptable. The goal is to ease a common and distressing side effect of cancer.
