BY Ina Barton 2018-06-24Tumor-related malnutrition is the result of a combination of factors. Huge energy consumption and inefficient energy utilization are important causes of malnutrition in cancer patients. The role of inflammatory mediators such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF is the core pathophysiological mechanism. Patients with malnourished tumors have reduced tolerance to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery, and have less sensitivity to anti-tumor therapy. Patients with malnourished tumors have more coexisting diseases and complications, so the medical cost is higher and the survival time is shorter. Therefore, cancer patients need nutritional therapy, which is of great significance to cancer patients.9
