The Intensive Nutritional Support in Esophageal Cancer Undergoing Neoadjuvant Therapy

This study selected patients with esophageal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy as the research subjects. All enrolled patients underwent comprehensive nutritional risk screening and malnutrition assessment prior to enrollment. After the completion of nutritional risk screening and assessment, patients identified with nutritional risk were randomly assigned to two groups: the Standard Nutrition Therapy group (SNT) and the Intensive Nutrition Therapy group (INT). Patients in the SNT group received a conventional nutritional support regimen during hospitalization, which included dietary guidance and necessary nutritional supplements. In addition to the standard regimen, patients in the INT group continued to receive ongoing nutritional counseling and nutritional supplement support after discharge to ensure sustained nutritional support.
