This study is following 125 patients with locally advanced stomach cancer to carefully monitor their nutritional status and body composition throughout their cancer treatment. Researchers will use a simple, non-invasive scanning technique called bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure changes in your body composition over time. This helps doctors understand and address nutrition problems that commonly occur during stomach cancer treatment.
About 1 in 5 stomach cancer patients lose significant weight during treatment, which can weaken the body, increase complications during surgery, and make it harder to tolerate therapy. Right now, there's no standard way for doctors to measure and track these nutritional changes, so this study aims to establish a reliable method to help improve patient care.

You will come in for four nutritional assessments scheduled throughout your cancer treatment. At each visit, you'll receive a bioelectrical impedance analysis scan—a quick, painless test where a small electrical current measures your body composition (muscle, fat, and water). The visits take place as part of your routine cancer treatment appointments, so there's minimal extra time commitment beyond your regular care.
