Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative nutritional status and body structure affect short-term prognosis in patients undergoing major oncologic surgery. Bioimpedance vectorial analysis (BIVA) is a reliable tool to assess body composition. Low BIVA-derived phase angle (PA) indicates a decline of cell membrane integrity and function. The aim was to study the association between perioperative PA variations and postoperative morbidity following major oncologic upper-GI surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2019 and 2022 we prospectively performed BIVA in patients undergoing surgical resection for pancreatic, hepatic, and gastric malignancies on the day before surgery and on postoperative day (POD) 1. Malnutrition was defined as per the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria. The PA variation (ΔPA) between POD1 and preoperatively was considered as a marker for morbidity. Uni and multivariable logistic regression models were applied. RESULTS Overall, 542 patients with a mean age of 64.6 years were analyzed, 279 (51.5%) underwent pancreatic, 201 (37.1%) underwent hepatobiliary, and 62 (11.4%) underwent gastric resections. The prevalence of preoperative malnutrition was 16.6%. The overall morbidity rate was 53.3%, 59% in those with ΔPA < -0.5 versus 46% when ΔPA ≥ -0.5. Age [odds ratio (OR) 1.11; 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.00; 1.22)], pancreatic resections [OR 2.27; 95% CI (1.24; 4.18)], estimated blood loss (OR 1.20; 95% CI (1.03; 1.39)], malnutrition [OR 1.77; 95% CI (1.27; 2.45)], and ΔPA [OR 1.59; 95% CI (1.54; 1.65)] were independently associated with postoperative complications in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Patients with preoperative malnutrition were significantly more likely to develop postoperative morbidity. Moreover, a decrease in PA on POD1 was independently associated with a 13% increase in the absolute risk of complications. Whether proactive interventions may reduce the downward shift of PA and the complication rate need further investigation.

[PMID: 38764305 DOI: 10.1080/01635581.2024.2350100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Nutritional status is an essential factor in the occurrence of complications in patients with esophageal cancer. We sought to assess the relationship between malnutrition and complications using various nutritional assessment indicators. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of medical databases for articles published up to July 2023. The primary outcome indicator is the occurrence of complications, for which we combined 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and odds ratios (ORs) for postoperative complications and analyzed them using a random effects model. The analysis was carried out using STATA15.0 software. A total of 33 study groups from 22 publications with 5,675 subjects were included. Pooled results show that nutritional indicators are strongly correlated with the occurrence of postoperative complications (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.30-1.62). In the subgroup analyses, comprehensive indicators and the skeletal muscle index were significantly associated with complications, whereas laboratory indicators were not associated with complications (comprehensive indicators OR = 2.68, 95% CI: 1.80-4.00; skeletal muscle index OR = 2.93, 95% CI: 1.44-5.99; laboratory indicators OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.96-1.16). Patients with normal body mass index and hospitalized patients were more likely to develop complications. Malnutrition is strongly associated with the development of complications. Nutritional indicators and patient characteristics influenced this relationship.

Abstract
Cancer patients are at high risk of malnutrition, which can lead to adverse health outcomes such as prolonged hospitalization, increased complications, and increased mortality. Accurate and timely nutritional assessment plays a critical role in effectively managing malnutrition in these patients. However, while many tools exist to assess malnutrition, there is no universally accepted standard. Although different tools have their own strengths and limitations, there is a lack of narrative reviews on nutritional assessment tools for cancer patients. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a non-systematic literature search using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from their inception until May 2023. A total of 90 studies met our selection criteria and were included in our narrative review. We evaluated the applications, strengths, and limitations of 4 commonly used nutritional assessment tools for cancer patients: the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM). Our findings revealed that malnutrition was associated with adverse health outcomes. Each of these 4 tools has its applications, strengths, and limitations. Our findings provide medical staff with a foundation for choosing the optimal tool to rapidly and accurately assess malnutrition in cancer patients. It is essential for medical staff to be familiar with these common tools to ensure effective nutritional management of cancer patients.

Development of a nutritional screening and assessment indicator system for patients with esophageal cancer in China: Findings from the Delphi method. Cancer Med 2023; 12:21240-21255. [PMID: 37990781 PMCID: PMC10726821 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.6703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In China, individuals diagnosed with esophageal cancer are confronted with an elevated risk of nutritional inadequacy or malnutrition throughout the course of their disease, a condition that contributes to various adverse clinical outcomes. A vast corpus of data are burgeoning at an unprecedented rate, primarily due to the revolutionary growth of digitalization technologies and artificial intelligence, notably within the domains of health care and medicine. The purpose of this investigation is to initiate the development of a nutritional screening and assessment indicator framework for patients with esophageal cancer within the Chinese context. We seek to furnish an instrumental reference to facilitate preparations for the forthcoming era of advanced, "deep," evidence-based medicine. METHODS An integrative methodology was employed to forge the preliminary draft of the nutritional screening and assessment indicator system for preoperative patients with esophageal cancer. This encompassed a rigorous literature survey, in-depth clinical practice investigation, and the facilitation of expert panel discussions. Thereafter, two iterative consultation phases were conducted using the Delphi method in China. The analytic hierarchy process was deployed to ascertain the weighting of each index within the definitive evaluation indicator system. RESULTS The effective response rates for the dual rounds of expert consultation were 91.7% and 86.4%, with commensurate authority coefficients of 0.97 and 0.91. The Kendall harmony coefficients were ascertained to be 0.19 and 0.14 (p < 0.01), respectively. The culminating nutritional screening and assessment indicator system for patients with esophageal cancer comprised 5 primary-level indicators and 38 secondary-level indicators. CONCLUSIONS The nutritional screening and assessment indicator system contrived for patients with esophageal cancer is underpinned by cogent theoretical principles, leverages an astute research methodology, and manifests dependable outcomes. This system may be appositely utilized as a meaningful reference for the nutritional screening and assessment process in patients afflicted with esophageal cancer.

Abstract
AIM A recent study reported the utility of the definition of malnutrition according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in many types of cancers and chronic inflammatory disease. The present retrospective study aimed to investigate the significance of malnutrition defined with GLIM criteria in patients with hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and also to compare malnutrition using handgrip strength. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data from 174 patients who had undergone curative hepatic resection for HCC including both skeletal muscle area and handgrip strength. Patients were divided according to malnutrition defined by GLIM or modified GLIM and clinicopathologic and short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed. The modified GLIM criteria was defined using both handgrip strength and skeletal muscle area. RESULTS Malnutrition defined by GLIM criteria was diagnosed in 47 patients (26.7%) and malnutrition defined by modified GLIM criteria was diagnosed in 21 patients (11.9%). Malnutrition defined by GLIM or modified GLIM criteria was associated with poorer liver function and malignant tumor behavior, but modified GLIM criteria predicted the postoperative complication and recurrence-free survival outcome independently. In patients with poor liver function, malnutrition defined by modified GLIM criteria predicted postoperative complication and overall and recurrence-free survival. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition defined by modified GLIM criteria using both handgrip strength and skeletal muscle area can more accurately predict short- and long-term outcomes compared to malnutrition defined by the GLIM criteria. Nutritional and exercise therapy could become more important in patients with malnutrition and poor liver function.

Abstract
(1) Background: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the concurrent and predictive validity and the applicability of the global leadership initiative on malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in patients hospitalized for acute medical conditions. (2) Methods: prospective cohort study with patients hospitalized for acute medical conditions. For validation, the methodology proposed by the GLIM group of experts was used. Sensitivity and specificity values greater than 80% with respect to those for the subjective global assessment (SGA) were necessary for concurrent validation. The time necessary to complete each nutritional assessment test was determined. (3) Results: A total of 119 patients were evaluated. The SGA was applied to the entire cohort, but the GLIM criteria could not be applied to 3.4% of the patients. The sensitivity and specificity of the GLIM criteria with respect to those for the SGA to detect malnutrition were 78.0 and 86.2%, respectively. The GLIM predictive validity criterion was fulfilled because patients with malnutrition more frequently had a hospital stay >10 days (odds ratio of 2.98 (1.21-7.60)). The GLIM criteria required significantly more time for completion than did the SGA (p = 0.006). (4) Conclusion: The results of this study do not support the use of the GLIM criteria over the SGA for the diagnosis of malnutrition in patients hospitalized for acute medical conditions.

Prevalence of malnutrition based on global leadership initiative in malnutrition criteria for completeness of diagnosis and future risk of malnutrition based on current malnutrition diagnosis: systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1174945.

Abstract
Background The proposal of the global leadership initiative in malnutrition (GLIM) criteria has received great attention from clinicians. The criteria are mainly used in the research environment and have the potential to be widely used in the clinic in the future. However, the prevalence of malnutrition and risk of future malnutrition based on a current diagnosis of malnutrition are worth exploring. Methods A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was performed from the earliest available date to 1 February 2023. According to the diagnostic criteria of the GLIM, we analysed the prevalence of malnutrition by directly adopting the GLIM criteria for diagnosis without a previous nutritional risk screening (one-step approach) and by adopting the GLIM criteria for diagnosis after a nutritional risk screening (two-step approach). The main outcome was the prevalence of malnutrition based on the one-and two-step approaches. Secondary outcomes were the future risk of malnutrition based on the GLIM diagnosis, including mortality within and beyond 1 year. primary outcomes were pooled using random-effects models, and secondary outcomes are presented as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results A total of 64 articles were included in the study, including a total of 47,654 adult hospitalized patients and 15,089 malnourished patients based on the GLIM criteria. Malnutrition was diagnosed by the one-step approach in 18 studies and by the two-step approach in 46 studies. The prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the one-and two-step approaches was 53% (95% CI, 42%-64%) and 39% (95% CI, 0.35%-0.43%), respectively. The prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the GLIM criteria after a nutritional risk screening was quite different; the prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) GLIM tool was 35% (95% CI, 29%-40%); however, the prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the Mini Nutrition Assessment (MNA) GLIM tool was 48% (95% CI, 35%-62%). Among the disease types, the prevalence of malnutrition in cancer patients was 44% (95% CI, 36%-52%), while that in acute and critically ill patients was 44% (95% CI, 33%-56%). The prevalence in patients in internal medicine wards was 40% (95% CI, 34%-45%), while that in patients in surgical wards was 47% (95% CI, 30%-64%). In addition, the mortality risk within 1 year (HR, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.95-3.52; I2 = 77.1%) and beyond 1 year (HR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.70-2.45; I2 = 59.9%) of patients diagnosed with malnutrition by the GLIM criteria was double that of patients with normal nutrition. Conclusion The prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed by the GLIM criteria after a nutritional risk screening was significantly lower than the prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed directly by the GLIM criteria. In addition, the mortality risk was significantly greater among malnourished patients assessed by the GLIM criteria.Systematic review registration: identifier CRD42023398454.

Abstract
In 2018, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition consortium published global consensus diagnostic criteria for malnutrition and highlighted the association between malnutrition and poor postoperative outcomes in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. The aforementioned criteria consist of phenotypic and etiologic criteria to diagnose malnutrition in individuals who undergo conventional screening to determine the at-risk population. Recent studies have reported the usefulness of prediction of postoperative outcomes using body mass index, weight loss, and reduced muscle mass as phenotypic criteria. Reduced muscle mass is an essential diagnostic criterion for sarcopenia, which is associated with poor outcomes in patients with cancer. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria define reduced muscle mass as undernutrition. Malnutrition diagnosed based on the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria is an important risk factor for postoperative complications and also an independent poor prognostic factor for long-term outcomes; greater severity of malnutrition is associated with poorer outcomes. The current Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria for malnutrition accurately predict outcomes, including postoperative complications and long-term prognosis; however, a revision may be warranted to ensure consistency with the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia. Patients diagnosed with malnutrition based on the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria should be targeted for nutritional intervention. Further accumulation of evidence is necessary to conclusively establish the role of nutritional interventions in patients with malnutrition to improve postoperative complications and long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Objective. The purpose of this study was to investigate patients with esophageal cancer symptom experiences before seeking medical help and psychosocial responses. Methods. Within one month of diagnosis, semistructured interviews were held with 14 adult patients with esophageal cancer. To fully comprehend the symptom experiences that patients with esophageal cancer had prior to seeking medical help and the psychosocial responses they had to these experiences, thematic analysis and interpretative phenomenological analysis were used. Results. Patients with esophageal cancer recounted their symptom experiences, and psychosocial responses were categorized into three main themes: physical, psychological, and social. Three subthemes were included in the physiological aspect: early symptoms (warning signs), specific symptoms (the catalyst for seeking medical help), and concurrent symptoms (masked side effects). Four subthemes were associated with psychological aspects: unfairness, regret, worry, and acceptance. Two subthemes were related to the social element, namely, dragging down one’s family and societal self-isolation. Conclusion. Due to the self-remitting nature of early symptoms, the normalization of their interpretation, and concealment by other illnesses, patients with esophageal cancer may delay medical help-seeking. The findings could serve as a reference for healthcare professionals to implement tailored psychosocial interventions and help patients identify symptoms early in order to seek medical help.

Abstract
Oncologic patients often suffer from malnutrition, which might negatively affect treatment outcomes. Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM)-based malnutrition is associated with short- and long-term outcomes in cancer patients. The aim of the current meta-analysis was to determine the impact of GLIM-defined malnutrition on postoperative complications and survival in esophageal and gastric cancer patients. A systematic search was conducted to identify studies published until February 2022 that assessed the association between GLIM criteria and short- and long-term outcomes in esophageal and gastric cancer patients. We included seven observational studies reporting on a total of 3662 patients with esophageal and gastric cancer. GLIM-defined malnutrition was associated with increased overall complications (pooled HR 2.58, 95% CI 1.45-4.59, p = 0.001). Malnutrition was significantly associated with decreased overall survival (pooled HR 1.63, 95% CI 1.18-1.84, p = 0.003) as well as with decreased disease-free survival (pooled HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.36-2.33, p < 0.0001). GLIM-based malnutrition was associated with an increased risk for developing postoperative complications and impaired survival of esophageal and gastric cancer patients. Our findings support the use of GLIM criteria in clinical practice as a relatively simple and reliable tool for assessing the nutritional status of oncologic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition defined by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) has been associated with cancer mortality, but the effect is limited and inconsistent. We performed this meta-analysis aiming to assess this relationship in patients with cancer. METHODS We systematically searched Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, CINAHL, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases from January 1, 2019, to July 1, 2022. Studies evaluating the prognostic effect of GLIM-defined malnutrition on cancer survival were included. A fixed-effect model was fitted to estimate the combined hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% CI. Heterogeneity of studies was analyzed using the I2 statistic. Quality assessment were performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) tool. RESULTS The search strategy identified 4378 articles in all databases combined. Nine studies (8829 patients) meeting the inclusion criteria were included for quantitative analysis. Meta-analysis revealed significant associations between GLIM-defined pooled malnutrition (HR = 1.75; 95% CI, 1.43-2.15), moderate malnutrition (HR = 1.44; 95% CI, 1.29-1.62), and severe malnutrition (HR = 1.79; 95% CI, 1.58-2.02) with all-cause mortality. Sensitivity analysis supported the robustness of these associations. The between-study heterogeneity was low (all I2 < 50%), and study quality assessed with NOS was high (all scores > 6). The evidence quality according to the GRADE tool was very low. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis suggests a significant negative association of malnutrition, as defined by the GLIM, with overall survival in patients with cancer. However, definitive conclusions cannot be made, owing to the low quality of the source data.

Abstract
Objectives Recently, some cohorts have looked into the use of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in cancer patients. The objective of the current meta-analysis was to determine its utility in predicting clinical and survival outcomes for cancer patients. Method Searching and screening literature from PubMed, Web of Science and Embase until September 13, 2022 was performed by two researchers independently. According to the exclusion and inclusion criteria, articles reporting the impact of malnutrition diagnosed by GLIM on long-term survival and clinical outcomes were included. Data of interest were also extracted from the included papers. The stability of the pooled results was evaluated using sensitivity analysis. With the aid of subgroup analysis, heterogeneity was revealed. To assess publication bias, Egger's and Begg's tests were conducted. The influence of publication bias on the pooling risk estimate was examined using a trim-and-fill analysis. Results 15 studies that qualified for our study were identified. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) from both multivariate and univariate regression analysis showed a worse overall survival in GLIM-defined malnourished cancer patients than those in well-nourished status. Meanwhile, disease-free survival was also poorer in malnourished patients. Moreover, pooled odds ratio (OR) demonstrated that malnourished cancer patients were more likely to develop overall postoperative complications, complications ≥ Clavien-Dindo grade IIa and complications ≥ Clavien-Dindo grade IIIa. Two articles reported negative relation between GLIM-defined malnutrition and 30-day readmission/mortality. Conclusion GLIM-defined malnutrition possesses value in predicting poorer survival and clinical outcomes for cancer patients.

Abstract
Background To explore the effects of nutrition support team (NST) intervention on elderly patients with gastric cancer (GC). Methods The elderly GC patients (tumor stage I/II/III), admitted to our department from January 2015 to September 2021, were retrospectively analyzed and divided into NST group and traditional nutrition (TN) group according to nutritional management methods. The immune, inflammatory, nutrition-related indices, postoperative recovery and long-term prognosis of two groups were analyzed. Results A total of 258 elderly GC patients were included (NST group, n = 125; TN group, n = 133). After propensity score matching (PSM) in ratio of 1:1, 73 pairs of patients were matched. There were statistically significant differences in CD3 and CD4 level postoperative one month and IgG level postoperative one week between NST group and TN group (P < 0.05). There was no significant differences in serum CRP and IL-6 levels preoperative one day, postoperative one week and one month between two groups (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in body mass index (BMI) between the two groups postoperative one month (P < 0.05). The rate of infectious complications in TN group was significantly higher than that in NST group (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant differences in 3-year relapse-free survival (RFS) or 3-year overall survival (OS) between NST group and TN group (P > 0.05). Conclusions Compared with TN management, NST intervention might be benefit to the immune function recovery and nutritional status, but there was no evidence that NST could improve the prognosis of elderly GC patients.

Abstract
Purpose To study the prognostic value of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in advanced cancers receiving programmed death‐1/programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐1/L1) inhibitors. Methods Online electronic databases were comprehensively searched and available literature was retrieved. We extracted available data from included researches and pooled the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to learn the prognostic value of PNI on overall survival (OS) or progression‐free survival (PFS); and meanwhile calculated the relative risk (RR) with 95% CI to study the relationship between PNI and treatment efficacy (objective response rate [ORR] or disease control rate [DCR]) in late staged cancer receiving PD‐1/L1 inhibitors. Results Nine studies were finally selected for this meta‐analysis. We obtained data regarding PNI on OS from all nine studies, and the pooled HR was 2.31 (95% CI 1.81–2.94, p = 0.000), showing a correlation between low PNI and worse OS. Eight studies reported a relationship between PNI and PFS, and combined results revealed shorter PFS in patients with lower PNI, with an HR of 1.75 (95% CI 1.40–2.18, p = 0.000). Four studies explored the association between PNI and ORR and two studies explored the influence of PNI on DCR. An association between PNI and ORR (RR = 0.47, p = 0.003) was observed, while no association between PNI and DCR (RR = 0.49, p = 0.103) was observed by pooling these studies. Conclusion In summary, this meta‐analysis indicated that a lower PNI was significantly correlated with decreased OS and PFS and played adverse roles in ORR in advanced cancer patients receiving PD‐1/L1 inhibitors. Therefore, PNI could be promising for predicting prognosis and treatment response in advanced malignancies treated with PD‐1/L1 inhibitors.

Abstract
Background Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is an essential treatment for patients who undergo abdominal surgery. Due to the gap of knowledge background between clinicians and pharmacists, the participation of the latter may improve TPN standardization. However, the impact on clinical outcome is unknown. In this study, we evaluated the impact of appropriacy and efficacy of TPN prescription, after a pharmacist-led TPN standardization program introduced. Methods A pharmacist-led TPN standardization program was introduced in the Zhejiang Cancer Hospital and the clinical outcomes were assessed. The TPN standardization program includes a pre-established standard multidisciplinary evaluation standard, a computerized TPN management system and regular evaluations of TPN prescription performed by pharmacists. Any concerns were identified and improved via discussed with doctors. To evaluate the effect of pharmacists’ intervention in nutritional status and postoperative complications, an observational before-and-after cohort study was performed. All patients admitted in hospital with colorectal cancer (CRC) and receiving abdominal surgery in June 2019 (pre-intervention cohort) and June 2020 (post-intervention cohort) were retrospectively analyzed. Nutritional status of patients was evaluated using the levels of postoperative serum albumin, prealbumin, total protein, and their decrease extent. Surgical or TPN-related complications and recovery time were collated as the clinical outcomes. Results There were no significant differences in the basic clinical information of the two cohorts, suggesting that the two groups are comparable. The average postoperative prealbumin levels were elevated in 2020 compared to 2019 (192.3±5.5 mg/L for 2019 and 229.5±4.8 mg/L for 2020, P<0.001). In addition, the post-intervention cohort showed a lower postoperative infection rate (11.6% vs. 18.2%), shorter duration of infection (9.4±1.4 vs. 7.7±1.0 days), lower incidence of postoperative albumin decrease (25.2% vs. 76.7%), prealbumin decrease (71.5% vs. 78.9%), and total protein decrease (25.2% vs. 72.2%), and lower incidence of TPN-related hypoglycemia (5.4% vs. 15.3%). Conclusions Pharmacist-led TPN standardization improved the postoperative clinical outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13124397. [PMID: 34959948 PMCID: PMC8706251 DOI: 10.3390/nu13124397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Cancer and its therapy is commonly associated with a variety of side effects that impact eating behaviors that reduce nutritional intake. This review will outline potential causes of chemotherapy and radiation damage as well as approaches for the amelioration of the side effects of cancer during therapy. Methods: Information for clinicians, patients, and their caregivers about toxicity mitigation including nausea reduction, damage to epithelial structures such as skin and mucosa, organ toxicity, and education is reviewed. Results: How to anticipate, reduce, and prevent some toxicities encountered during chemotherapy and radiation is detailed with the goal to improve eating behaviors. Strategies for health care professionals, caregivers, and patients to consider include (a) the reduction in nausea and vomiting, (b) decreasing damage to the mucosa, (c) avoiding a catabolic state and muscle wasting (sarcopenia), and (d) developing therapeutic alliances with patients, caregivers, and oncologists. Conclusions: Although the reduction of side effects involves anticipatory guidance and proactive team effort (e.g., forward observation, electronic interactions, patient reported outcomes), toxicity reduction can be satisfying for not only the patient, but everyone involved in cancer care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating literature has shown the predictive values of inflammation and nutrition-based biomarkers in the prognosis of oesophageal cancer but with inconsistent findings. METHOD We performed a meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the predictive value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), C reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), systemic inflammation index (SII), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) in oesophageal cancer. The outcome indicators include the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). We applied pooled HR, sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio and area under the curve together with 95% CI to estimate the predictive accuracy. RESULTS A total of 72 studies, including 22 260 patients, were included in the meta-analysis. Elevated NLR, PLR CAR, SII, GPS, mGPS and decreased LMR and PNI were associated with poor OS of oesophageal cancer. A high level of NLR, PLR and GPS was related to poor DFS. A high level of NLR and GPS was related to poor CSS. The summarised AUC of CAR (0.72, 95% CI: 0.68 to 0.75) and mGPS (0.75, 95% CI: 0.71 to 0.78) surpassed any other indicators. CONCLUSIONS Clinical indicators such as NLR, PLR, LMR, PNI, SII, CAR, GPS and mGPS have the moderate predictive ability in OS, DFS and CSS of oesophageal cancer. The pretreatment level of CAR and mGPS showed an outstanding prediction value in 5-year OS for oesophageal cancer.
