UWL was missed in 43% of cancer cachexia patients despite 8.6% ± 0.3% body weight loss prior to cancer diagnosis. When recognized, documentation of UWL did not occur until 7 months after weight loss initiation. A greater magnitude of UWL was associated with more advanced disease at cancer diagnosis. Recognition and timely diagnosis of UWL will increase the percentage of patients with curable, early-stage disease.
