Changes in appetite, weight, strength and physical function are issues cancer nurses encounter every day — but cancer-related malnutrition and sarcopenia can still be missed or addressed too late.

Person-centred communication, care planning and working effectively across the multidisciplinary team are central to both palliative care and cancer nursing. Two new PCC4U case studies provide an opportunity to explore how these principles play out across a person’s care journey.
NSW cancer nurses are encouraged to support the new Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Clinical Service Pilot, launching in July 2025.
