It is well established that the preoperative nutritional status of gastric cancer (GC) patients significantly affects the prognosis of the operated patients, their overall survival, as well as the disease-specific survival. Existing data support that preoperative assessment of nutritional status and early correction of nutritional deficiencies exert a favorable effect on early postoperative outcomes. A variety of relevant indices are used to assess the nutritional status of GC patients who are candidates for surgery. The guidelines of almost all international organizations recommend the use of oral enteral nutrition (EN). Oncologically acceptable types of gastrectomy and methods of patient rehabilitation should take into account the expected postoperative nutritional status. The majority of data support that perioperative EN reduces complications and hospital stay, but not mortality. Oral EN in the postoperative period, albeit in small amounts, helps to reduce the weight loss that is a consequence of gastrectomy. Iron deficiency with or without anemia and low serum levels of vitamin B12 are common metabolic sequelae after gastrectomy and should be restored. EN also significantly helps patients undergoing neoadjuvant or adjuvant antineoplastic therapy. The occurrence of the so-called “postgastrectomy syndromes” requires dietary modifications and drug support. This review attempts to highlight the benefits of EN in GC patients undergoing gastrectomy and to emphasize the type of necessary nutritional management, based on current literature data.

“…[10] Other studies have focused solely on oral mucositis. [11,12] However, compared with the pain caused by oral mucositis, pain caused by pharyngeal mucositis has a closer relationship with dysphagia [13] and has a greater impact on oral intake.

Objective Radiation mucositis, especially pharyngeal mucositis, severely affects the oral intake of patients of head and neck cancer (HNC) during radiotherapy. Whether the nutritional status affects the severity of pharyngeal mucositis is currently unknown. This study investigated the incidence of malnutrition and radiation pharyngeal mucositis in patients with HNC during radiotherapy and analyzed the impact of the nutritional status on radiation pharyngeal mucositis. Methods Consecutive patients with HNC receiving radiotherapy were recruited for this longitudinal observational study. Data were collected at baseline (T1), midtreatment (T2), and at the end of treatment (T3). The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 and the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria were used to assess pharyngeal mucositis and the nutritional status, respectively. Results There were 348 HNC patients who completed all assessments. The pharyngeal mucositis of patients with HNC was aggravated during radiotherapy (χ 2 = 553.521, P < 0.001). At T3, 56.0% of patients had moderate or severe pharyngeal mucositis. The proportion of patients with malnutrition increased significantly during treatment (21.3% at T1 vs 46.8% at T2 vs 76.1% at T3, χ 2 = 209.768, P < 0.001). Both a multivariable analysis of generalized estimating equations and a logistic regression analysis showed that pharyngeal mucositis was associated with malnutrition. Conclusions Malnutrition was common in patients with HNC during radiotherapy, and it was closely related to pharyngeal mucositis. Joint interventions targeting nutrition and symptom management should be considered for patients with HNC.
