Loss of appetite can have several serious consequences for cancer patients, including:
- Malnutrition and weight loss, which can weaken the immune system and reduce the body’s ability to fight infection. - Reduced energy levels and fatigue, affecting the patient's ability to perform daily activities. - Impaired response to treatment, as proper nutrition is crucial for the effectiveness of cancer therapies. - Lower quality of life, as eating is often a social and enjoyable activity.
