“…Among the five functioning scales, physical functioning was the most commonly affected area in our patients with a mean score of 75.63 ± 1.83 which is comparable to the scores from the international data on GI cancers which ranges from 60 to 92 [ 19 23 ]. This high variability is likely due to the variable stage of disease and the mode of treatment.…”

“…This high variability is likely due to the variable stage of disease and the mode of treatment. Lowest reported scoring scale among functioning scale is variable in literature: social functioning in Japan [ 21 ], role functioning in Sweden and China [ 19 , 22 ] and emotional scale in Columbia and the USA [ 20 , 23 ]. Due to inadequate infrastructure and limited expertise in minimally invasive approach to deal with cancer patients, open surgery is the main option for GI cancer surgery.…”

“…As a potential reason, a study by Dalamaga et al suggested that low muscle mass can contribute to tumor growth through increased inflammation [ 74 ]. The correlation of nutrition and QoL found in our study is also supported by studies for patients with lung cancer, colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer [ 13 , 14 , 75 , 76 ]. A study by Gharagozlian et al on long-term survivors of gastrectomies for cancer found patients with malnutrition to have lower QoL, and a study by Maia et al produced similar results [ 77 , 78 ].…”

“…Gastric cancer and colorectal cancer have become one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide, seriously threatening human life and health. Patients with gastrointestinal malignancies have a high incidence of malnutrition due to tumor consumption, digestive and absorption dysfunction, digestive tract reconstruction and other factors, which can not only directly affect the treatment effect, quality of life and the occurrence of complications, but also an important predictor of survival of cancer patients [2][3][4] . In addition, subsequent chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other anti-tumor treatment modalities often cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, anorexia, bloating, nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal symptoms in patients, and malnutrition will accelerate this series of changes.…”
