Abstract: The cornerstone of treating cancer-related anorexia-cachexia in patients with advanced cancer is routine anorexia-cachexia assessment. There isn’t yet a validated instrument to evaluate anorexia among Bengali-speaking people who have terminal illnesses. The study’s objectives are to translate the Functional Assessment of Anorexia Cachexia Therapy (Anorexia/Cachexia Subscale) Version 4 questionnaire into Bengali and evaluate it while making cultural adaptations.
