Society on Sarcopenia and Cachexia The SCWD's objective is to increase public awareness of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and muscle wasting, to educate healthcare professionals and promote research.
(2)

The Society on Sarcopenia, Cachexia and Wasting Disorders is a non-profit scientific organization comprised of an international and multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals primarily active the fields of sarcopenia, cachexia and other wasting disorders. The SCWD seeks to further research on Cachexia and Sarcopenia and bring practical solutions to healthcare teams worldwide. SCWD was fou

nded to improve patient health worldwide and to encourage prevention and treatment of wasting disorders. The spectrum of clinical disorders represented by the SCWD Society includes but is not limited to cachexia, sarcopenia, the syndrome of muscle wasting associated to cancer, COPD, diabetes, heart failure, HIV, malnutrition, aging and other chronic conditions.

Understanding the impact of cancer cachexia on survival requires longitudinal studies that track patients over time, assessing cachexia status and survival outcomes. Dr. Eric Roeland will share his insights on this area at ASCO 2024 on 3rd June.
For more and the latest research and best practices on cachexia management & how to assess the association between cachexia and survival, join us in Washington DC for the 17th Conference of SCWD.

The study delves into the factors affecting multimodal care practices for cancer cachexia among registered dietitians (RDs). Variances were observed in practices based on demographic factors, guideline utilization, assessment strategies, & education/training. Notably, RDs' knowledge & confidence levels in cancer cachexia management emerged as critical factors influencing their practices.
These findings underscore the importance of continuous education & training in this field for healthcare professionals.
