Hospitals have fast, standard responses to sepsis and heart attacks. Cancer wasting has no such pathway, so it is noticed late and treated inconsistently.
Cachexia care is fragmented across oncology, dietetics, physiotherapy and palliative care, with no trigger threshold and no bundle. A defined pathway is a service intervention that requires no new drug: automatic trigger on weight loss or low muscle mass, same-week multidisciplinary assessment, a standard bundle of nutrition, resistance exercise, symptom control and medication review, and audited outcomes.
