Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) serves its readers as the single most credible, authoritative resource for disseminating significant clinical oncology research. Original reports remain the focus of JCO, but this scientific communication is enhanced by appropriately selected Editorials, Commentaries, Reviews, Guidelines, and other works that relate to the care of patients with cancer. Published three times a month, a total of 36 issues a year.

JCO Oncology Practice (JCO OP) offers a mix of cancer care delivery research and reviews with a clinical focus. Published monthly, JCO OP also addresses an expressed need of practicing physicians to have compressed, expert opinions addressing common clinical problems.

JCO Global Oncology (JCO GO) is an online- only, peer-reviewed, open access journal. The journal focuses on the unique challenges of cancer care and research facing resource-constrained countries settings.

�` Should I be concerned about the amount of weight I have lost?

�` What options do I have to treat the underlying cause of my appetite loss?

�` How can I make sure I get the nutrients I need while maintaining a healthy weight?

�` Are there any other treatments that would increase my appetite or address my weight loss?

�` Would you recommend meeting with a registered dietitian for help with my appetite loss?

�` Would you recommend taking a dietary supplement? If so, how much should I take and for how long?

�` What are the benefits, risks, and side effects of taking this dietary supplement?

�` Could taking dietary supplements interfere with my cancer treatment?

�` If I have a question or problem, who should I call?

Appetite Loss�� What is appetite loss?

Loss of appetite is a common symptom of cancer and side effect of cancer treatment. People with poor appetite or appetite loss may eat less than usual, have no feelings of hunger, or feel full after eating only a small amount. Ongoing appetite loss may lead to weight loss, malnutrition, and fatigue and weakness from muscle loss.

�� What causes appetite loss?Many types of cancer, including ovarian, pancreatic, and stomach cancer, may cause a loss of appetite because they affect a person’s metabolism. Other types of cancer may enlarge the spleen or liver so it pushes on the stomach, creating a feeling of fullness. Ascites, a buildup of fluid in the abdomen, may also create a feeling of fullness. In addition, poor appetite may result from specific medications or treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery to any part of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach or intestines. Other side effects of cancer treatment, such as nausea and vomiting, difficulty swallowing, taste changes, and depression, may cause appetite loss.

�� How is appetite loss diagnosed?There is no test that can diagnose poor appetite. Let your doctor know if you experience appetite loss. Your doctor will likely do a physical examination to check for anything unusual and ask you questions about the severity of your appetite loss, how long you have been experiencing appetite loss, how much weight you have lost, and any other symptoms you are experiencing. The doctor may also recommend tests to check for health conditions that could cause poor appetite.

�� How is appetite loss treated?If possible, the first step in treating appetite loss is to address the underlying cause. Treatment for conditions such as mouth sores, dry mouth, pain, or depression should help improve appetite. Additional treatments for appetite loss and associated weight loss may include medications that increase appetite, medications that help food move through the intestines, nutritional supplement drinks, and tube feeding. Dietary supplements, such as multivitamins, may also be appropriate for people with cancer who are not able to get all of their nutrients through food. Because high doses of specific nutrient supplements can be harmful, it is important to talk with your doctor if you plan to take individual supplements.

Ask your health care team for tips to help you get the calories and nutrients your body needs and maintain a healthy weight, even when your appetite is poor. They may ask you to keep a food diary for a few days to help them create the best plan for you. Your health care team may also recommend that you meet with a registered dietitian for dietary counseling to help you accomplish these goals.
