| Article Title: | Malnutrition and metabolic abnormalities in cancer patients |
| Abstract: | Malnutrition is a common problem in cancer patients. The most clearcut cause is anorexia and a decrease in food intake. Other causes include alterations in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism which result in losses of energy and amino acids from the host. Understanding the pathophysiology of these changes will provide ways to better nourish cancer patients and improve their quality of life. |
