Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

People with incurable cancer often have complex individual needs, however there are several common themes encountered when considering this group.

As cancer progresses there are series of interactions between the tumour and the patient, producing both local and systemic effects. This altered state of illness can have multiple ill effects including weight loss, fatigue, increased symptom burden and reduction in physical function which all contribute to a reduced quality of life.

These areas are often studied in isolation, giving an incomplete picture. A detailed, holistic characterisation of this group of people does not exist.

A robust characterisation of people with incurable cancer will allow identification and prioritisation of future research and has the potential to inform new therapeutics and provide justification for treatments.

This study aims to collect information about symptoms and quality of life, weight loss and body composition, physical activity and the body's immune response to cancer.

Participants with incurable cancer will be recruited to the study from oncology and palliative medicine services in the UK. Participants will answer questionnaires about quality of life and symptoms, have bloods taken for inflammatory marker and cytokine analysis and have their body composition measured by a variety of methods.
