@humolyte.bsky.socialCancer cachexia is more than weight loss.
A new Nature Medicine study found that nearly half of cancer patients experienced significant weight-loss episodes, and for some, those changes began before treatment even started.

New research found that depression was associated with poorer cancer outcomes, while early psychotherapy was linked to better outcomes.
