Such theoretical considerations should, therefore, have no influence on the decision to feed a cancer patient.C4.1Indication GeneralStart nutritional therapy if undernutrition already exists or if it is anticipated that the patient will be unable to eat for >7 days.C2.2Start enteral nutrition if an inadequate food intake (<60% of estimated energy expenditure for >10 days) is anticipated. It should substitute the difference between actual intake and calculated requirements.C2.2In weight losing patients due to insufficient nutritional intake enteral nutrition should be provided to improve or maintain nutritional status.B2.3 PerioperativePatients with severe nutritional risk benefit from nutritional support 10–14 d prior to major surgery even if surgery has to be delayed.A3.1 During radio- or radio-chemotherapyUse intensive dietary advice and oral nutritional supplements to increase dietary intake and to prevent therapy-associated weight loss and interruption of radiation therapy.A3.2Routine enteral nutrition is not indicated during radiation therapy.C3.2 During chemotherapyRoutine enteral nutrition during chemotherapy has no effect on tumour response to chemotherapy or on chemotherapy-associated unwanted effects and, therefore, is not considered useful.C3.3 During stem cell transplantationThe routine use of enteral nutrition is not recommended.C3.4If oral intake is decreased parenteral nutrition may be preferred to tube feeding in certain situations (i.e. increased risk of haemorrhage and infections associated with enteral tube placement in immuno-compromised and thrombocytopenic patients).C3.4 In incurable patientsProvide enteral nutrition in order to minimise weight loss as long as the patient consents and the dying phase has not started.C3.6When the end of life is very close most patients only require minimal amounts of food and little water to reduce thirst and hunger.B3.6Small amounts of fluid may also help to avoid states of confusion induced by dehydratation.B3.6Subcutaneously infused fluids in hospital or at home may be helpful and also provide a vehicle for the administration of drugs.C3.6ApplicationPrefer the enteral route whenever feasible.A3.1Administer preoperative enteral nutrition preferably before admission to the hospital.C3.1RouteUse tube feeding if an obstructing head or neck or esophageal cancer interferes with swallowing or if severe local mucositis is expected.C3.2 During radio- or radio-chemotherapyTube feeding can either be delivered via transnasal or percutaneous routes.3.2Because of the radiation induced oral and esophageal mucositis a percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) may be preferred.C3.2Type of formula GeneralUse standard formulae.C1.5Regarding ω-3 fatty acids, randomised clinical trial evidence is contradictory/controversial and at present it is not possible to reach any firm conclusion with regard to improved nutritional status/physical function.C2.5It is unlikely that ω-3 fatty acids prolong survival in advanced cancer.2.5 PerioperativeUse preoperative enteral nutrition preferably with immune modulating substrates (arginine, ω-3 fatty acids, nucleotides) for 5–7d in all patients undergoing major abdominal surgery independent of their nutritional status.A3.1 During stem cell transplantationEnteral administration of glutamine or eicosapentanoic acid is not recommended due to inconclusive data.C3.5Drug treatmentIn the presence of systemic inflammation pharmacological efforts are recommended in addition to nutritional interventions to modulate the inflammatory response.C2.3In cachectic patients steroids or progestins are recommended in order to enhance appetite, modulate metabolic derangements, and prevent impairment of quality of life.A2.4Administer steroids for short-term periods only weighing their benefits against their adverse side-effects.C2.4Consider the risk of thrombosis during progestin therapy.C2.4Grade: Grade of recommendation; Number: refers to statement number within the text. Open table in a new tab Grade: Grade of recommendation; Number: refers to statement number within the text. In the majority of tumour-bearing patients systemic proinflammatory processes are activated. Resulting metabolic derangements include insulin resistance, increased lipolysis and high normal or increased lipid oxidation with loss of body fat, increased protein turnover with loss of muscle mass and an increase in production of acute phase proteins. The systemic inflammatory reaction that develops with many cancers is an important cause of loss of appetite (anorexia) and weight. The syndrome of decreased appetite, weight loss, metabolic alterations and inflammatory state is referred to as cachexia, cancer cachexia or cancer anorexia–cachexia syndrome (CACS). These cytokine-induced metabolic alterations appear to prevent cachectic patients from regaining body cell mass (BCM) during nutritional support, are associated with a reduced life expectancy (III), and are not relieved by exogenous nutrients alone. Attempts to modulate these changes by other means should be integrated into the management of cancer patients (C). Nutritional assessment of cancer patients should be performed frequently, and nutritional intervention initiated early when deficits are detected (C). Comment: While undernutrition, both moderate and severe, is frequent in patients with malignant disease, many tumour-bearing patients display elevated inflammatory markers.1Moldawer L.L.

Rather, since the metabolic and molecular mechanisms ultimately leading to the phenotypic pattern of the anorexia–cachexia syndrome are already operating early during tumour growth and development, cachexia should be seen as a partially preventable phenomenon, the onset of which could be at least delayed by means of early pharmacological and nutritional intervention.29Muscaritoli M.

Does cancer influence nutritional status? Yes. Weight loss is frequently the first symptom occurring in cancer patients. Depending on tumour entity, weight loss is reported in 30 to more than 80% of patients and is severe (>10% of initial weight) in some 15% (IIb). Comment: Weight loss preceding tumour diagnosis has been reported by many groups to occur in 31–87% of the patients, depending on the tumour entity30DeWys W.D. Begg C.

An impaired nutritional status is associated with reduced quality of life, lower activity level, increased treatment-related adverse reactions, reduced tumour response to treatment and reduced survival (IIb). However, a cause–effect relationship has not yet been established. Comment: Longitudinal studies have demonstrated that the prognosis for cancer patients with weight loss is worse than that for weight-stable patients.

Undernutrition, therefore, appears to be a marker of disease severity and poor prognosis, although it has not been established, whether undernutrition per se has a direct influence on prognosis, independently of the underlying disease. 1.4. Does cancer influence energy expenditure? Cancer itself does not have a consistent effect on resting energy expenditure. Oncological treatment, however, may modulate energy expenditure (III). Comment: Resting energy expenditure (REE) can be unchanged, increased or decreased in relation to the predicted energy expenditure. The energy requirements of cancer patients should therefore be assumed to be normal unless there are specific data showing otherwise. In about 25% of patients with active cancer, REE measured by the gold standard method, indirect calorimetry, is more than 10% higher, and in another 25% it is more than 10% lower than predicted energy expenditure. The extent or direction of the error cannot be predicted for individual cases49Knox L.S. Crosby L.O. Feurer I.D. Buzby G.P. Miller C.L. Mullen J.L.
