“…For instance, during the diagnosis period, patients may consume a lot of energy and protein due to the rapid growth of the malignant tumour, resulting in dyscrasia. On the other hand, patients had reduced intake due to lack of knowledge and negative emotions such as anxiety and fear [8] [9] [10]. Moreover, patients may experience hyperglycaemia, abnormal protein catabolism and negative nitrogen balance during the perioperative period due to systemic stress response caused by preoperative fasting and surgical trauma.…”

Breast cancer patients face different nutritional problems at each stage. However, the nutrition of breast cancer patients has not been taken seriously. As a result, some patients cannot tolerate treatment due to poor nutrition, thus affecting the prognosis. This study aims to introduce a typical case to explore the whole-course (started at admission and ended 5 years after surgery) and Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs) (comprising physician, primary nurse, case manager, nutrition liaison and nutrition specialist nurse) nutritional management mode of breast cancer patients. The patient successfully completed the scheduled treatment by implementing the whole-course and multidisciplinary nutrition management. The mode can prospectively and dynamically estimate the changes in patients' nutritional status, and provide timely nutritional intervention to promote patient outcomes.
