Overview

Narrative review synthesizes nutritional issues and screening tools in older cancer patients, suggesting improved outcomes through personalized care.

Key Points

  • Malnutrition affects 30–80% of older cancer patients, leading to reduced survival and worse quality of life.
  • Screening tools like PG-SGA and G8 help identify nutritional risks in older cancer patients effectively.
  • Nutritional interventions, including dietary counseling and multimodal strategies, improve clinical outcomes for these patients.
  • Systematic screening for malnutrition should integrate into standard cancer care to enhance patient outcomes.
