Hello!

I am running a quick survey to explore healthcare professionals’ experiences in managing cancer-related cachexia — a condition that often gets overlooked but can massively impact a patients quality of life.

It will be greatly appreciated if you could spare around 15-20 minutes to fill out this survey (link below ⬇️). Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you!!
