Patients with cancer may experience muscle loss at a rate far greater than that seen with normal ageing. This decline can result in reduced mobility, diminished quality of life, and poorer treatment outcomes. In this 48-minute on-demand webinar recording, internationally recognised nutrition expert Carla Prado, PhD, RD, FCAHS, will explain the complex and multifactorial causes of muscle loss and review the latest evidence on its impact. You will also gain insight into how nutritional interventions can prevent and reverse muscle loss in cancer and explore practical strategies to preserve muscle and support improved outcomes for patients.

Please note: This program was originally presented as a live webinar on 13 August 2025. The Q&A for the session was not recorded.
