Description
Masataka Taoka and co-authors study weight loss during lung cancer treatment in a 2024 paper. Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer often get immune therapy plus chemotherapy together. How often they lose weight on that combo, and what the loss foretells, was little known.
Across 13 centers, 370 patients were tracked, and about 38 percent lost more than five percent of body weight during treatment. Those patients lived far shorter lives and saw their cancer progress sooner than patients whose weight held. The harm showed even in patients who began treatment with obesity. The authors urge teams to watch and counter weight loss early.
