Consensus of nutritional management for survivors of malignant tumor (2023) / 中华临床营养杂志

ABSTRACT

Reasonable nutrition management is important in the long-term care of cancer survivors. It can contribute to reducing the risk of metabolic complications, improving patients' understanding, beliefs, and behavior as regards healthy lifestyles, promoting lifestyle and dietary changes, and positively impacting disease treatment and long-term prognosis. To improve the long-term management of Chinese cancer survivors, reduce medical costs, and maximize clinical benefits and patient outcomes, the Cancer Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Nutrition Society has developed this consensus based on the current cancer patient management and nutritional therapy in China, evidence-based medicine from domestic and foreign publications, as well as expert opinions and experiences in clinical and nutritional fields. Following the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine (OCEBM) grading system, this consensus provides recommendations for nutritional risk screening, assessment (diagnosis), enteral and parenteral nutrition support, and medical nutrition therapy for cancer survivors, aiming to inform and support the standardized nutritional management of cancer survivors.
