Article Synopsis
- Cancer cachexia, a severe weight loss syndrome notably present in 61% of non-small cell lung cancer patients, is the focus of a feasibility study aimed at evaluating a combination of resistance training and nutritional supplementation to combat this condition.
- The study, called ACCeRT, involves a prospective, randomized controlled trial with two groups: one receiving standard treatment (EPA and celecoxib) and another also participating in progressive resistance training and taking essential amino acids.
- The main goal is to assess how acceptable this multi-targeted approach is for lung cancer patients experiencing cachexia, using feedback through an acceptability questionnaire.
