Current and anticipated future state of cachexia care in patients with cancer.

We assessed care in cancer patients with cachexia across leading health systems (LHSs). Qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys were conducted with LHSs executives and frontline health care personnel, representing 46 total respondents and 42 unique LHSs and including oncology service line leaders, supportive care services, dietitians and surgical oncologists. Cachexia was not considered a top priority, and formal diagnoses were rare.
