Cachexia Consensus Conference

The Cachexia Consensus Conference is a gathering of healthcare experts who come together to review and agree on the best ways to understand and treat cachexia, a complex condition characterized by severe weight loss, muscle wasting, and weakness often seen in chronic illnesses like cancer or heart failure. The conference aims to develop standardized definitions, diagnosis criteria, and management strategies, helping clinicians identify and treat the condition more effectively. By establishing consensus, the conference enhances research quality and patient care, ensuring that people suffering from cachexia receive consistent and evidence-based treatment approaches.
