  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

The purpose of this study is to investigate cachexia in patients with cancer.

This study evaluates body composition, physical activity, quality of life, and immune response in patients at risk of cachexia. It investigates a more complete understanding of these factors in cancer patients undergoing surgery.

  • Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and over who are scheduled for surgical resection of cancer or an open abdominal operation for a benign condition may participate. Participants must be able to provide written informed consent.
  • Study details: Participants will have their height and weight measured, complete questionnaires, and undergo physical function assessments. Blood samples will be taken to analyze inflammation markers, and body composition will be measured. Some participants will also have an MRI scan. A placebo is not used in this study.
