Key Points

• Cancer cachexia appears to be underrecognized and undertreated by oncology HCPs in a multinational study.
• Cancer cachexia is a poor prognostic indicator that can profoundly affect well-being and the ability to tolerate cancer treatments.
• Early identification of and intervention for cancer cachexia are needed as well as more effective treatments.
