Comprehensive validation of the functional assessment of anorexia/cachexia therapy (FAACT) anorexia/cachexia subscale (A/CS) in lung cancer patients with involuntary weight loss

Purpose Comprehensive (qualitative and quantitative) assessments of the 12-item functional assessment of anorexia/cachexia therapy (FAACT) anorexia/cachexia subscale (A/CS) and relevant subscales were undertaken for use in constructing potential endpoints in clinical trials of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with involuntary weight loss.
