“…Among the five functioning scales, physical functioning was the most commonly affected area in our patients with a mean score of 75.63 ± 1.83 which is comparable to the scores from the international data on GI cancers which ranges from 60 to 92 [ 19 – 23 ]. This high variability is likely due to the variable stage of disease and the mode of treatment.…”

“…This high variability is likely due to the variable stage of disease and the mode of treatment. Lowest reported scoring scale among functioning scale is variable in literature: social functioning in Japan [ 21 ], role functioning in Sweden and China [ 19 , 22 ] and emotional scale in Columbia and the USA [ 20 , 23 ]. Due to inadequate infrastructure and limited expertise in minimally invasive approach to deal with cancer patients, open surgery is the main option for GI cancer surgery.…”

“…Multiple factors affect the QOL in cancer patients including age, gender, marital status, employment status, level of education, nutritional status, presence of comorbidities, tumour location and stage of cancer [ 10 , 11 , 20 , 23 , 24 ]. In our study, patients who underwent surgery had a significantly better global QOL when compared with those who didn’t undergo any procedure.…”

“…As a potential reason, a study by Dalamaga et al suggested that low muscle mass can contribute to tumor growth through increased inflammation [ 74 ]. The correlation of nutrition and QoL found in our study is also supported by studies for patients with lung cancer, colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer [ 13 , 14 , 75 , 76 ]. A study by Gharagozlian et al on long-term survivors of gastrectomies for cancer found patients with malnutrition to have lower QoL, and a study by Maia et al produced similar results [ 77 , 78 ].…”

(1) Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) gains importance as novel treatment options for individuals with esophagogastric tumors to improve long-term survival. Impaired HRQoL has been shown to be a predictor of overall survival. Sarcopenia is a known prognostic factor for postoperative complications. As the regular control of sarcopenia through CT scans might not always be possible and HRQoL and nutritional scores are easier to obtain, this study aimed to assess the relationship between nutritional scores, HRQoL and skeletal muscle mass in patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract. (2) Methods: Eighty patients presenting with tumors of the upper GI tract were included and asked to fill out the standardized HRQoL questionnaire, EORTC’s QLQ-C30. Nutritional status was assessed using the MNA, MUST and NRS 2002 scores. Sarcopenia was determined semi-automatically based on the skeletal muscle index at the L3 vertebrae level in staging CT scans. (3) Results: In chemo-naïve patients, HRQoL summary scores correlated significantly with nutritional scores and SMI. SMI and HRQoL prior to neoadjuvant therapy correlated significantly with SMI after treatment. (4) Conclusions: HRQoL is a helpful tool for assessing patients’ overall constitution. The correlation of HRQoL summary scores and SMI might allow for a rough assessment of skeletal muscle status through HRQoL assessment in chemo-naïve patients.

“…Gastric cancer and colorectal cancer have become one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide, seriously threatening human life and health. Patients with gastrointestinal malignancies have a high incidence of malnutrition due to tumor consumption, digestive and absorption dysfunction, digestive tract reconstruction and other factors, which can not only directly affect the treatment effect, quality of life and the occurrence of complications, but also an important predictor of survival of cancer patients [2][3][4] . In addition, subsequent chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other anti-tumor treatment modalities often cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite, anorexia, bloating, nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal symptoms in patients, and malnutrition will accelerate this series of changes.…”

Objective This study was a prospective, single-center, non-randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of perioperative and out-of-hospital nutritional interventions on nutritional status in patients assessed by nutritional risk screening. Methods From July 2021 to June 2022, a total of 362 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the Department of Gastrointestinal surgery of the first Hospital of Shanxi Medical University. According to the results of nutritional risk screening and assessment, the patients were divided into two groups: five-step treatment for malnutrition and postoperative routine nutrition support group (FST + PRNS group, n = 248) and postoperative routine nutrition support group (PRNS group, n = 114). The main outcome measures included nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) and patient-generated subjective nutrition assessment (PG-SGA). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to deal with confounding factors (age, gender, stage, etc.). Results A total of 302 patients completed the intervention and follow-up. According to the analysis of the study scheme, the NRS2002 score and PG-SGA score of the FST + PRNS group at baseline were significantly higher than those of the PRNS group. At 1 year after admission, the NRS2002 score and PG-SGA score of the FST + PRNS group were close to those of the PRNS group, and the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion The nutritional status of malnourished patients with gastrointestinal tumors who received one-year five-step treatment for malnutrition and postoperative routine nutrition support was significantly improved, and was close to that of patients with normal nutritional status with gastrointestinal tumors who received postoperative routine nutrition support.
