“…Wang et al. 55 observed no significant impact of nutritional counseling on the weight, body mass index, and body composition of patients with HNC and on radiotherapy in the nutrition intervention arm. However, their study did not record treatment-related AEs that may influence the effectiveness of the strategy for maintaining adequate nutrient intake and achieving well-nourished status.…”

“…In patients with digestive cancers and at nutritional risk, meeting energy and protein requirements could be a significant challenge. Wang et al [11] reported that a significant proportion of patients with foregut tumours and receiving radiotherapy could not meet recommended protein goal by nutritional counselling alone. In particular, although the group receiving nutritional counselling showed higher energy and protein intake than control group, still approximately one fourth of them could not reach 60% of the recommended protein goals.…”

Purpose of reviewRecent advances in the nutritional management of patients with digestive cancers suggest that modulation of protein intake may significantly contribute to achieve nutritional and clinical benefits. By reviewing the available evidence, a quantitatively and qualitatively optimal protein intake could be derived.Recent findingsHigh protein diets (i.e., 1–1.5 g/kg body weight/day) appear key to maintain the adequate nutritional status, and may also contribute to achieve clinical benefits. This target appears particularly relevant in patients with digestive cancers at risk or already malnourished, or in older patients. During active cancer treatments, protein intake should be closer to the upper limit of the recommended intake. Also, high protein intake should be maintained beyond the periods of catabolic crisis associated with active treatments. In contrast with general reasoning, animal proteins should represent the majority of the recommended intake. Based on the available evidence, the intake of no specific amino acid can be strongly recommended to enhance anabolic potentials or the immune modulating effects of high protein diets.SummaryHigh protein intake, mostly based on animal proteins, should be recommended to patients with digestive cancers. However, this target should be translated into clinical prescription after considering the clinical and metabolic needs of the patients. The quest for the optimal protein intake of patients with cancer at different time points of their clinical journey is still open.
