Article Synopsis
- Malnutrition negatively impacts lung cancer patients' treatment outcomes, quality of life, and survival; effective dietary counseling can help improve nutrition, but only a few trials have studied its effects specifically in lung cancer patients.
- In a randomized controlled trial at a Thailand hospital, patients were assigned either dietary counseling from a nutritionist or routine care to evaluate the impact on nutrition and treatment outcomes.
- Results showed that the counseling group experienced less weight loss and better dietary intake, suggesting early nutritional interventions can enhance treatment responses and support weight management in lung cancer patients, although not all outcomes were significantly improved.
