Clinical Pathway of Nutrition Metabolism for Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients
Malnutrition is highly prevalent in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients,and simple nutritional support is usually not effective.It is crucial for patients to improve or reverse malnutrition by anti-tumor therapy combined with nutritional intervention and metabolic regulation as well as compre-hensive treatments to reduce the tumor load,and ensure the caloric nutrients supply,absorption and utilization.Accurate and comprehensive nutritional metabolism diagnosis and oncology diagnosis are the prerequisite for effective treatment.Nutritional and metabolic treatment,repair and maintenance of eat-ing capacity and other symptomatic treatments are the guarantee for the smooth implementation of med-ical anti-tumor treatment for esophageal cancer patients.Nutrition and oncology evaluation should be carried out regularly during the treatment,and the treatment plan should be adjusted timely based on the evaluation results.
