This symposium will highlight the latest research from the COSA Nutrition and Exercise Groups – spanning the launch of the COSA Cancer-related malnutrition and sarcopenia position statement: Implementation Toolkit, the mapping of nutrition services in Australian acute health services providing cancer treatment and the latest on investigating the value of implementation of the COSA Position Statement on Exercise in Cancer Care.
