Abstract
Patients with advanced incurable illnesses and their families are frequently concerned about not eating enough and a decline in physical functioning. Eating-related disorders were reviewed for a workshop at the 4th San Salvatore Meeting on Palliative Care in Switzerland, with the purpose of discussing new findings relating to the understanding and treatment of such problems. The topics discussed were patient and family concerns, practical nutritional advice, mechanism and causes of anorexia/cachexia, and assessment and management of eating-related disorders.Entities:
