Abstract

Cancer nutrition therapy can significantly improve clinical outcomes prolong survival time improve quality of life and save medical costs. It should be used as the first - line and basic treatment for cancer patients throughout the whole process of treatment. The cancer patients should start the nutrition therapy entirely and actively at an early stage. According to the nutritional diagnosis nutrition therapy should be implemented correspondingly following the four priority principles of dietary priority oral priority nutritional education priority and enteral nutrition priority and the five - step nutrition therapy specification of nutritional education oral nutritional supplements ONS tube feeding partial parenteral nutrition PPN and total parenteral nutrition TPN . The basic requirement of cancer nutrition therapy is to meet the energy and nutrient requirements of cancer patients and the highest goal is to regulate metabolism control cancer maintain body functions improve quality of life and extend survival time. The total energy requirement is assessed using 20-25 kcal / kg·d for bedridden patients and 25-30 kcal / kg·d for active patients and the protein supply is assessed using 1. 2-1. 5 g / kg·d . The energy supply ratio of glucose and fatty acid should be adjusted in the light of the insulin resistance of patients. It is suggested that tumor-bearing patients should reduce the proportion of glucose and increase fatty acid. The combination of multiple pharmacological nutrients has a positive effect on cancer patients. Nutrition therapy for endstage cancer patients requires individualization and full respect for the opinions of patients and their families.
