NUTRITIONAL VULNERABILITY IMPACTS
OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH CANCER

nutritional-vulnerability-venn-diagram-cancer
  • Up to 87% of patients with cancer are malnourished2-4
  • Cachexia is a disorder that causes extreme weight loss and muscle wasting. It is experienced by up to 80% of patients with advanced cancers5
  • 54% of patients have reduced strength◊6

MUSCLE LOSS IS COMMON AMONG MANY
CANCER TYPES

Sarcopenia is observed in up to:

71%

of metastatic colorectal cancer patients7

71%◊◊

of head & neck cancer patients8

47%

Standard diet provided 1500 kcal, 87.4 gprotein a day. *In older community living adults (>60 years) receiving outpatient care with or at risk of, malnutrition. ‡In 62 community-dwelling pre-frail older people taking a specialised ONS vs nutritional counselling over 12weeks. §In 61 patients undergoing radical cystectomy receiving either a specialised ONS or vitamin/mineral supplement twice daily for 8 weeks. ¶An open-label study of elderly (n=35) patients with recent weight loss (>5% duringprevious 3 months) showed that 12 weeks supplementation of experimental product twice daily increased dietary intake, biochemical variables, and quality of life compared to baseline. ~As shown in a randomised controlled trial inwhich normally nourished patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchectasis received pulmonary rehabilitation plus a specialised ONS or pulmonary rehabilitation only for 12 weeks. In the intervention group, mean and maximumhandgrip dynamometry, physical functioning domain of QOL-B-V3.0 and other outcomes were significantly increased from baseline at 12 weeks and 24 weeks and fat free mass at 12 weeks. §§As shown in a randomised control trialto investigate the effects of a specialised ONS on older women (≥65 years) who underwent surgery for hip fracture vs. standard post-operative nutrition. Post-operative nutrition provided 1900 kcal and 76 g protein a day. Musclefunction was measured by handgrip strength. Mobilisation status was assessed on post-operative days 15 and 30. ***As shown in a randomised control trial to investigate the effects of the intervention ONS on malnourished,cardiopulmonary patients (≥65 years) vs placebo. The intervention ONS decreased mortality at 90 days post-discharge, however the study did not observe a significant effect for the primary composite endpoint of non-electivereadmission or death. This post-hoc, sub-group analysis from the NOURISH study cohort comprised 214 COPD patients. ††Strength was measured by handgrip strength in a post hoc analysis of over 600 malnourished people withheart or lung diseases, age 65 or older. Study product was consumed twice a day for 30 days, as compared to standard of care. ‡‡In 330 older adults with malnutrition and sarcopenia. Muscle quality was calculated as leg strengthexpressed relative to the muscle mass. #In a single arm open-label study of 148 patients aged 80±8.3 years with or at risk of malnutrition who consumed experimental product twice daily for 12 weeks as compared to baseline. ##Asshown in a randomised control trial to investigate the effects of the intervention ONS on malnourished, cardiopulmonary patients (≥65 years) vs placebo.
