“…Malnutrition is considered as a natural nutritional consequence of a gastrectomy, and malabsorption and malnutrition are prevalent in survivors of esophageal and stomach cancer, which might be underappreciated [ 6 ]. Kim et al [ 1 ] reported that the high risk of malnutrition after gastrectomy might be attributed to inadequate oral consumption, malabsorption, rapid intestinal transit time, and loss of the reservoir function of the stomach [ 7 ].…”

“…It is well known that gastric cancer is the fourth most common malignant disease worldwide and the second most common cause of death from cancer, and is now the second most common cancer and the fourth most common cause of cancer death in South Korea [1][2][3]. Gastric resection with lymphadenectomy has been the mainstay gastric cancer treatment, although chemotherapy has prolonged the survival of patients with advanced disease [4].…”

Dietary education is regarded as an important and useful tool for influencing nutritional status. Since long, dietary education has been performed to improve the nutritional status of patients after a gastrectomy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of simplified dietary education on the nutritional status of patients after a gastrectomy. A total of 1,150 patients with gastric cancer underwent surgery between March 2014 and October 2015 at the Samsung Medical Center (SMC). Of these, we used the case-control matching method (1:1 match) by stratifying the factors of age and sex and included 100 patients in each group. The clinicopathologic data of the patients for two years after the gastrectomy were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. The educated group (ED, N = 100) was provided with a simplified, ordinary dietary education at regular outpatient clinic visits that occurred at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after gastrectomy and at 1-year intervals thereafter. The clinicopathologic characteristics and nutritional parameters of the educated group (ED) (N = 100) and the non-educated group (NED) (n = 100) were compared. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of clinical characteristics and serological parameters. Nutritional parameters, which included body weight loss, body mass index (BMI) change, and prognostic nutritional index (PNI), were also not significantly different between the two groups. Simplified dietary education at regular outpatient clinic visits was ineffective in reducing weight loss after a subtotal gastrectomy. Further research or other methods may be needed to reduce weight loss after a gastrectomy.
