The Intensive Nutritional Support in Esophageal Cancer Undergoing Neoadjuvant Therapy
Sponsor: Sichuan University
Summary
Patients with esophageal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy were selected as research subjects for nutritional risk screening and malnutrition assessment. Patients identified with nutritional risk were randomized into the standard nutrition therapy group (SNT) and the intensive nutrition therapy group (INT). The surgical rate was evaluated in both groups of patients, and the effects of nutritional support therapy on nutritional status and quality of life were investigated.

This study selected patients with esophageal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy as the research subjects. All enrolled patients underwent comprehensive nutritional risk screening and malnutrition assessment prior to enrollment. After the completion of nutritional risk screening and assessment, patients identified with nutritional risk were randomly assigned to two groups: the Standard Nutrition Therapy group (SNT) and the Intensive Nutrition Therapy group (INT). Patients in the SNT group received a conventional nutritional support regimen during hospitalization, which included dietary guidance and necessary nutritional supplements. In addition to the standard regimen, patients in the INT group continued to receive ongoing nutritional counseling and nutritional supplement support after discharge to ensure sustained nutritional support.
