Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
With the project the investigators propose, the investigators aim to find answers to the following questions: Are some cachectic factors and cytokines associated with plasma level irisin in patients with advanced stage cancer diagnosed with CACS? Could irisin be a new cachectic factor for patients with CACS? Can providing nutritional education to these patients slow cachexia and can a quality survival be achieved in line with the data obtained from the assessment of quality of life? and the experimental approaches to find answers to these questions make this project unique.

- description
- The SF-36 Short Form was developed and made available by Rand Corporation to assess the quality of life. It was translated into Turkish in our country and its validity and reliability study was carried out by Koçyiğit et al. In addition to being short and easy to apply, the scale has a wide range of uses. SF-36 short form is frequently used to determine the quality of life in cancer patients. The SF-36 quality of life scale consists of 36 questions and eight sub-dimensions. SF-36 has 8 sub-dimensions as general health perception, physical function, physical role, pain, vitality, social function, mental role, and mental function, and 2 summary areas as mental health and physical health. The summary scores obtained were expressed as a continuous variable ranging from zero to one hundred. Zero indicates ill health, 100 indicates well-being. The purpose of obtaining summary scores is to facilitate interpretation and comparisons
