Call to screen cancer patients for malnutrition before chemotherapy
Original: Before the next chemo dose, should clinicians screen for malnutrition?
Clinicians are being urged to assess malnutrition in cancer patients before administering the next chemotherapy dose. Malnutrition can worsen treatment tolerance and outcomes, and the question raises debate over whether nutritional screening should become a routine part of chemotherapy preparation. Supporters say early detection allows timely dietary intervention, while practical questions remain about workload and protocols in oncology clinics.
Why now: Growing attention to nutrition's role in cancer treatment outcomes is prompting debate over routine screening protocols.
