“…Although the effects of perioperative nutritional intervention on the long-term outcome in patients with malnutrition due to malignant disease have not been confirmed, numerous studies have reported that perioperative nutritional intervention improved tolerance for anticancer treatment and reduced postoperative complications, which may contribute to improving the prognosis [42–44]. However, the definition and assessment of malnutrition in previous studies have not been unified.…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score on survival compared with the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) in patients with resectable thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).MethodsOne hundred eighty-five consecutive patients who underwent subtotal esophagectomy with curative intent for resectable thoracic ESCC were retrospectively reviewed. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analyses for 3-year overall survival (OS) as the endpoint were performed, and the maximal Youden indices were calculated to assess discrimination ability and to determine the appropriate cut-off values of CONUT, PLR, and NLR. The patients were then classified into high and low groups based on these cut-off values. Correlations between CONUT and other clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Prognostic factors predicting overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsThe areas under the curve predicting 3-year OS were 0.603 for CONUT, 0.561 for PLR, 0.564 for NLR, and 0.563 for GPS. The optimal cut-off values were two for the CONUT score, 193 for PLR, and 3.612 for NLR. The high-CONUT group was significantly associated with lower BMI, high-PLR, high-NLR, and GPS1/2 groups. On univariate analysis, high-CONUT, high-PLR, high-NLR, and GPS 1/2 groups were significantly associated with poorer OS and RFS. Of these factors, multivariate analysis revealed that only the CONUT score was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR 2.303, 95 % CI 1.191–4.455; p = 0.013) and RFS (HR 2.163, 95 % CI 1.139–4.109; p = 0.018).ConclusionsThe CONUT score was an independent predictor of OS and RFS before treatment and was superior to PLR, NLR, and GPS in terms of predictive ability for prognosis in patients with resectable thoracic ESCC.

“…These results highlight the possible need to provide immunonutrients before surgery to obtain sufficient levels at the time of surgical stress when there is an increased need for stimulation of the immune system [85]. One meta-analysis that included studies with patients that underwent esophagectomy, gastrectomy and pancreatectomy, demonstrated that patients who received immunonutrition postoperatively, had a significantly lower risk of wound infection and shorter length of hospital stay.…”

Esophageal Abnormalities

Esophageal cancer is associated with malnutrition in the vast majority of patients. This phenomenon is partly attributed to the disease process itself, the location of the tumor and other factors, such as dysphagia which is often accentuated due to chemotherapy/ radiotherapy treatment or surgical intervention. The poor nutritional status of these patients is often related to the presence of cancer cachexia, altered metabolism, and tissue wasting. Malnutrition in this patient population affects quality of life, worsens patient's tolerance to chemotherapy and accounts for lower survival. Nutritional management of these patients includes both proper nutritional assessment and support and might prevent, to a certain extent, the manifestation of malnutrition-related consequences. The purpose of this article is to review the current literature in order to focus on the etiology and diagnosis of malnutrition in esophageal cancer patients, emphasizing also on the optimal nutritional support during multimodality treatment.

“…37,38 Previous studies indicated that nutritional intervention could reduce postoperative complications and improve the tolerance of patients to anticancer treatment. 39,40 However, the effects of nutritional intervention on the long-term oncological outcomes in patients with cancer-related malnutrition have not been confirmed. Our results remind us of the importance of perioperative nutritional support in UTUC patients.…”

The aim of this study was to elucidate the prognostic value of the preoperative controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, a new index based on the total lymphocyte count, serum albumin concentration and total cholesterol concentration, in patients with localized upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 908 consecutive patients with localized UTUC who underwent RNU between 1999 and 2015. Patients were divided into two groups according to the optimal cutoff value of the preoperative CONUT score. Relationships between the CONUT score with clinicopathological characteristics, overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed before and after 1:1 PSM. Results: A high preoperative CONUT score was significantly correlated with older age, low body mass index (BMI), poor American Statistical Association (ASA) score, advanced pathological T stage, and tumor squamous or glandular differentiation (all p<0.05). Kaplan-Meier curves showed poor OS, CSS, and DFS for patients with a high CONUT score before and after PSM (all p<0.001). Furthermore, multivariate analyses revealed that a high preoperative CONUT score was an independent risk factor for poor DFS (hazard ratio [HR] 1.418, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.132-1.776, p=0.002) before PSM and an independent risk factor for poor DFS (HR 1.333, 95% CI 1.010-1.760, p=0.042) and OS (HR 1.459, 95% CI 1.010-2.107, p=0.044) after PSM. Conclusion: A high preoperative CONUT score is an independent prognostic factor for poor outcomes in patients with localized UTUC after RNU.

Preoperative oral supplementation support in patients with esophageal cancer

Abstract: Simple preoperative supplementation significantly improved outcome. Administration of the supplemental diet before esophageal surgery appeared to be an effective strategy in reducing infectious complications, mortality, and hospitalization, and improving short-term survival.
