Area of Science:

  • Clinical Nutrition
  • Immunonutrition
  • Medical Oncology

Context:

  • Malnutrition is a common complication of chronic and neoplastic diseases.
  • It leads to immunosuppression, increasing postoperative risks.
  • Nutritional support aims to meet caloric needs and reduce complications.

Purpose:

  • To review current knowledge on nutritional therapy for disease-related malnutrition.
  • To examine the role of immunostimulating nutrients in clinical trials.
  • To assess the impact of nutritional components on patient outcomes.

Summary:

  • Malnutrition negatively impacts immune function, particularly in cancer patients.
  • Nutritional interventions incorporating specific components like nucleotides, amino acids, vitamins, and fatty acids are explored.
  • These components show potential for immune system support.

Impact:

  • Optimizing nutritional therapy can reduce postoperative complications and hospital stays.
  • Immunonutrition strategies may improve patient recovery and reduce mortality.
  • Evidence supports the role of specific nutrients in enhancing immune response during illness.
