Prevalence and Development of Cachexia Before and After Diagnosis of Non–small Cell Lung Cancer
Weight loss in patients with cachexia at NSCLC diagnosis may commence as early as 12 months before cancer diagnosis. Within a year after a cancer diagnosis, more than half of patients develop cachexia, particularly those with advanced disease. These findings support the integration of early nutritional and pharmacological interventions in patients with NSCLC.
