This Cultural adaptation of the MST project has translated the MST and the associated fact sheet 'Preventing weight loss - Why is it important for people with cancer' into Victoria’s top 10 preferred languages other than English. These resources are available as an online tool with links to audio files and in a printable PDF format. These tools will add to the availability of resources that are culturally appropriate, comprehended by oncology patients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and able to be used effectively in clinical practice.
