Article Synopsis
- The study investigates cancer cachexia's impact on physical function and daily activities in palliative cancer patients undergoing rehabilitation, emphasizing the need for tailored rehab programs based on cachexia severity.
- A total of 135 patients were classified into categories based on the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), with 86% showing varying degrees of cachexia.
- Findings suggest that mGPS and activities of daily living (ADL) assessments are important indicators of survival outcomes, highlighting their potential in improving patient prognosis.
