What Are the Treatment Options for Cancer-Related Weight Loss?
Treatment for cancer-related weight loss focuses on addressing the underlying cancer and improving nutritional intake. This may involve a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and targeted therapies to treat the cancer itself. Nutritional interventions, such as high-calorie supplements, appetite stimulants, and dietary modifications, are often recommended to help manage weight loss. In some cases, a registered dietitian may be involved to create a personalized nutrition plan.
