Summary: This study compared the effects of preoperative enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition in esophageal cancer patients, finding that the enteral nutrition group had shorter postoperative hospital stay, lower nutrition support costs, and a reduced incidence of gastrointestinal complications, ultimately accelerating postoperative recovery.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative nutritional status on stoma health and identify risk factors for postoperative peristomal skin disorders (PSDs), finding that smoking and ileostomy were independent risk factors for PSDs. Another important finding was that the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score was the only independent risk factor for severe PSDs, suggesting a strong association between severe PSDs and preoperative nutritional disorders.

Summary: A nationwide prospective cohort study in Sweden involving 331 patients who underwent esophagectomy revealed that postoperative complications, particularly medical and pulmonary complications, may be associated with increased cancer-related fatigue after surgery.

Summary: Renal rehabilitation, which includes exercise intervention and nutrition programs, is popular for CKD patients with frailty. Exercise has positive effects on exercise tolerance, physical ability, and quality of life in these patients, while the impact on overall mortality remains unclear. Adequate protein intake and exercise are crucial for preventing muscle loss in CKD patients.

Summary: The study shows that good nutritional status is associated with better quality of life for lung cancer patients, while malnutrition increases the risk of death. Nutritional status is significantly related to survival and risk of relapse in lung cancer patients.

Summary: This study found that phase angle measured by BIA was a good diagnostic tool for detecting cancer complications in females and the risk of sarcopenia in males among colorectal cancer patients. These sex bias differences are relevant to understanding the nutritional status of CRC patients and their personalized nutritional treatment.

Summary: The study found that primary total pancreatectomy and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy have similar outcomes in periampullary cancer surgeries, with no significant differences in adjuvant treatment and oncological survival rates. However, rescue completion pancreatectomy had high morbidity and mortality rates, as well as poor overall survival, with many patients not receiving indicated adjuvant therapy in time.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of nutritional support based on the dietary anti-inflammatory index on cancer-related fatigue in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The results showed that the anti-inflammatory diet significantly improved fatigue, high sensitivity C-reactive protein concentrations, nutritional status, and quality of life after 3 months. The study provides evidence for the positive effect of an anti-inflammatory diet on cancer-related fatigue, inflammation levels, nutritional status, and quality of life in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between postoperative complications and long-term health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients who underwent esophagectomy for cancer. The study found that patients with complications reported more dyspnea compared to those without complications, but these differences were not clinically significant. The severity of complications also had an impact on the patients' mood. Overall, HRQL in esophageal cancer patients is more likely affected by the complexity of the surgical procedure itself.

Summary: This systematic review examined the impact of different nutritional interventions on clinical outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer during chemotherapy. The results showed that nutritional interventions improved Quality of Life, nutritional status, body composition, oral intake, and Karnofsky Performance Status. However, more studies are needed to determine the real impact of nutritional support and establish reliable methods to improve the nutritional status of pancreatic cancer patients during chemotherapy.
