Monitoring of nutritional status in uro-oncology

MUDr.Petra Holečková

Nutritional support is currently receiving a little more attention; however, it still remains to be of rather marginal interest. Malnutrition,

which occurs due to a number of causes in as many as 70 % of oncological patients, may complicate the course of the whole disease and

worsen treatment outcomes. Nutritional screening should target patients at risk and, subsequently, appropriate nutritional intervention

should be initiated. Monitoring of the nutritional status of patients should be a normal part of examination and nutritional support

should become an integral part of supportive therapy in oncology.

Keywords: nutrition, nutritional screening, malnutrition, nutritional intervention
