Discover the power of medical nutrition in holistic patient care
Malnutrition is common in many patients and can lead to complications that negatively impact clinical outcomes, recovery and quality of life. Getting the right nutritional care in a timely manner is therefore critical in championing the health of patients.
Growing scientific evidence demonstrates the game-changing potential of pairing tailored medical nutrition solutions with specific drug treatments, especially in the field of cancer management. This is creating a myriad of opportunities for pharmaceutical brands to integrate medical nutrition products into their therapeutic portfolios.
Patients with cancer are at high risk for malnutrition. If not addressed properly, patients can experience poor health outcomes and greater risk of mortality. Malnutrition can also negatively affect the efficacy of oncology treatment and a patient’s tolerance to therapy. Yet only 30%-60% of patients with cancer who are at risk of malnutrition receive nutritional support.
Increasing evidence demonstrates the benefits of medical nutrition in patients with cancer, including weight gain or weight maintenance, improved quality of life and tolerance to anticancer therapy.
