Tracking body measurements from patients with cancer surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well patient-recorded measurements can be used during cancer care around the time of curative-intent surgery or chemotherapy before surgery. It may help improve monitoring and decision-making during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with cancer
- Your treatment plan includes planned curative surgery or chemotherapy before surgery
- You are generally mobile and not bedridden or mainly in a wheelchair
- You do not have very severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease

This trial uses a painless machine to measure your body composition (mainly fluid and muscle) using bioelectrical impedance. It’s looking at people with stage II–III stomach cancer who are receiving standard “multi-treatment” care, to see whether these measurements are useful during treatment.
This trial tests a “multimodal” program meant to help people with cancer avoid developing cachexia, a condition that causes unwanted weight and muscle loss. It may help you stay stronger and maintain weight if you are not yet in advanced or rapidly worsening stages.
This study looks at changes in thinking, behavior, and brain structure that can happen when people with cancer lose weight and appetite (called cachexia). Researchers will use questionnaires and brain scans to understand these changes, which may help improve care for people with cancer.
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
This study compares muscle changes in people with colorectal cancer who have experienced weight loss (cachexia), those with colorectal cancer without weight loss, and healthy volunteers. Participants will have their trunk and leg muscles examined to understand how cachexia affects the body.
This study tests whether a personalized physical activity program can help improve energy balance in cancer patients experiencing unintended weight loss (cachexia). The goal is to see if exercise can reduce fatigue and help maintain strength and muscle mass.
