Sulyagina Valeria Sergeevna

Malnutrition plays a key role in increasing the severity of cancer. However, the relevance of this problem is often underestimated, and the assessment of such disorders is rarely used in everyday clinical practice, which has a significant negative impact on the outcome of patient treatment. During the analysis of the articles, it was found that preventive personalized approaches developed depending on the type of malignant neoplasm and the primary stage of its treatment can positively affect not only the course of the disease, but also the effect of the ongoing drug treatment. However, further research is needed to investigate the impact of nutritional interventions on outcomes in patients receiving chemotherapy.
