Abstract
Cancer has been the number one cause of death in Japan since 1981. Advanced or recurrent cancers need strong chemotherapies to control their growth. On the other hand, tumor‐bearing patients experience pain, fatigue, anorexia, cold sensation, sarcopenia, and frailty. Surgery and radiation therapy also cause adverse events such as ileus, infection, oral mucositis and diarrhea.
