The basic information and clinical application of nutritional riskscales for children with cancer were reviewed, and the strengths and weaknesses of each scale were analyzed. After systematic search and reading, the scales with more clinical applications included universal scales Pediatric Malnutrition Assessment Screening Tool (STAMP), Nutritional Risk and StuntingMalnutritionScreening Tool (STRONG kids), Pediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS), Pediatric Subjective Global Nutritional Risk Assessment (SGNA); specific scales Nutritional Screening Tool for Childhood Cancer (SCAN), Nutritional RiskScreening for Childhood Cancer (NRS-PC). In order to effectively manage the nutritional risk of pediatric cancerpatients, we should selectively use and further actively Chinese or develop specific nutritional risk measurement tools adapted to our national conditions.
