Nutrition as prevention for improved cancer health outcomes: a systematic literature review

Helen M Parsons,
Mary L Forte,
Hamdi I Abdi
et al.

Abstract: Background Among adults with cancer, malnutrition is associated with decreased treatment completion, more treatment harms and use of healthcare, and worse short-term survival. To inform the National Institutes of Health Pathways to Prevention (P2P) workshop, Nutrition as Prevention for Improved Cancer Health Outcomes, this systematic review examined the evidence for the effectiveness of providing nutritional interventions before or during cancer therapy to improve outcomes of cancer treatment… Show more

“…The current review examined interventions for Latino/a cancer survivors in the U.S. through January 2023 and extends what is known beyond previous reviews, which searched through August 2021, August 2022, and October 2022 [22][23][24]. Based on the authors' knowledge, this scoping review is the first to report on nutrition interventions post-diagnosis, that is, through active treatment and post-treatment survivorship, specifically for Latino/a adults, regardless of cancer type or gender.…”

“…A common issue related to limited efficacy in nutrition interventions studies with Latino/as include lack of power to detect effects due to small sample sizes. Two previous reviews included RCT studies with relatively small samples (n = 18 or n = 20 participants) [22,24], while a different review by Parsons et al restricted eligibility to interventions with samples sizes greater than or equal to 50 participants [23]. The current review was mostly pilot studies (n = 8 of 10 studies).…”

“…In cases where patients are severely malnourished and actively undergoing treatment, nutritional support should be implemented immediately to address their nutritional needs. GI cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy can benefit from early and intensive nutritional intervention, which will improve their nutritional status and QoL [26,27]. Nutritional therapy in GI patients should, at first, comprise an adequate calorie and protein intake, essential to preserve lean body mass, promote wound healing, and support the body's immune function.…”
