In children with cancer, suboptimal nutrition states are common consequences of the disease and its treatment. These nutrition states have been attributed to a number of etiologies dependent on the patient's tumor type and treatment, and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Interventions vary from psychosocial to pharmacological and surgical management. Further research is necessary to understand the epidemiology and etiology of these nutrition states. Of great importance is the development and implementation of effective interventions to optimize nutritional status among children with cancer during and after therapy.
在患有癌症的儿童中，营养状况不佳是疾病及其治疗的常见后果。这些营养状况归因于许多病因，这些病因取决于患者的肿瘤类型和治疗方法，并且与发病率和死亡率的增加有关。干预措施从心理社会到药理和手术管理各不相同。需要进一步研究以了解这些营养状况的流行病学和病因。非常重要的是制定和实施有效的干预措施，以优化癌症儿童在治疗期间和治疗后的营养状况。
