Cancer-related malnutrition and sarcopenia
This document outlines the position of COSA on the role of health professionals and health services in recognising and treating patients with cancer-related malnutrition and sarcopenia, with a focus on practice tips to support implementation of optimal management. It is intended for use by clinicians and health services to advocate for the resources and services required to support optimal management of cancer-related malnutrition and sarcopenia.
Malnutrition and muscle loss also occur in adolescents and young adults with cancer; however, this document is intended to address the management of these conditions in adults.
