The current consensus definition of cancer cachexia is based on weight loss over the last six months. In practice, this is assessed by subjective reporting by the patient, which is subject to error and bias. Novel technologies enable accurate, standardized, and objective assessment of body weight and physical activity by newly diagnosed cancer patients in the home situation. Because of the increasing implementation of neo-adjuvant treatment strategies
