Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutritional therapy combined with physical activity represents a fundamental asset to improve the quality of life of oncological patients. Unfortunately, both of these aspects are frequently neglect by clinicians during oncological treatment, as well as pre–post surgery for cancer. Moreover, different categories of neoplasms deserve diverse lines of nutrition and physical activity which have to be integrated in the complex algorithm of clinical management.
Up to now, no international guidelines have clearly defined a standard protocol able to combine the impact of a correct diet together with appropriate physical exercises in such cohort of patients.
Therefore, new studies are needed to create a personalized and tailored multidisciplinary approach with the aim to better the nutritional status and prevent sarcopenia and a sedentary lifestyle.
