Malnutrition is a frequent comorbidity in people with cancer, associated with poor tolerance of anticancer treatments, prognosis, and quality of life. Despite the abundance of scientific literature supporting this evidence and the availability of international guidelines for managing nutritional care in people with cancer, attitudes about this issue still vary considerably among oncologists, to the point that many patients who are malnourished do not receive adequate nutritional support. In view of this, the Italian Association of Medical Oncology, the Italian Society of Artificial Nutrition and Metabolism, and the Italian Federation of Volunteer-based Cancer Organizations implemented in 2016 a collaborative working group and initiated a structured project called Integrating Nutritional Therapy in Oncology, with the aim of increasing oncologists' awareness of nutritional issues and consequently improving the nutritional care of cancer patients in Italy. In 2019, the Italian Society of Oncological Surgery and the Technical Scientific Association of Food, Nutrition and Dietetics joined the working group. In this article, we present the updated initiatives and the perspectives of this intersociety project.
营养不良是癌症患者常见的合并症,与癌症治疗的耐受性差、预后和生活质量有关。尽管有大量的科学文献支持这一证据,并且有国际指南可用于管理癌症患者的营养护理,但肿瘤学家对这个问题的态度仍存在很大差异,以至于许多营养不良的患者没有得到足够的营养支持。有鉴于此,意大利肿瘤医学协会、意大利人工营养与代谢学会和意大利基于志愿者的癌症组织联合会于 2016 年成立了一个合作工作组,并发起了一个名为“肿瘤学中整合营养治疗”的结构化项目,旨在提高肿瘤学家对营养问题的认识,从而改善意大利癌症患者的营养护理。2019 年,意大利肿瘤外科学会和食品、营养与饮食学技术科学协会加入了工作组。在本文中,我们介绍了该学会间项目的最新举措和展望。
