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