Abstract

Malnutrition is a common condition in cancer patients,
with a detrimental impact on morbidity and mortality,
as demonstrated by many clinical studies1,2. In
particular, malnutrition is associated with prolonged
hospitalization, higher rates of treatment-related
toxicity, lower chemotherapy dose-intensity, reduced
response to cancer treatment, impaired quality of life,
and increased mortality
