“Cancer cachexia (CC) is common in advanced cancer and is accompanied by negative effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
However, methods to identify the impact of CC on HRQOL are limited.
Finally, the use of cannabinoids in treating appetite loss was examined,
54 patients underwent cannabinoid treatment for appetite loss within a community-based, physician-lead, medical cannabis clinic.
Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) score for lack of appetite significantly improved between baseline and follow-up after cannabinoid treatment, with no significant difference in weight.
Improvement of HRQOL via appetite stimulation, may be achieved through a multidisciplinary approach, which includes cannabinoid therapy.”
