Weight change was categorized as weight loss, stability, or gain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 2024 respondents, 36.8% and 14.3% lost and gained weight post\u2010treatment, respectively. Weight loss was more common in patients with lower income, more comorbidities, and chemotherapy exposure, while weight gain was more prevalent among younger, female, employed, and single survivors. Overall, 34.7% of participants reported unmet weight management needs; the highest prevalence was reported among those who gained weight (63.5%), who were over three times more likely to report unmet needs than weight\u2010stable survivors. Reasons included difficulty giving up the enjoyment of food, limited exercise or dietary control, low motivation, and treatment\u2010related side effects, with notable differences by weight change group. Online or mobile services were the preferred strategies, followed by educational programs and support from medical staff or local clinics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Weight changes after cancer treatment are common and vary by demographic, clinical, and cancer\u2010specific factors.
