Early Nutritional Intervention to Prevent Malnutrition in Patients With Cancer Receiving Palliative Chemotherapy in an Outpatient Setting
The goal of this intervention study is to study the effect of nutritional interventions in patients with cancer receiving palliative chemotherapy. The main question it aims to answer is: Does early nutritional interventions affect body weight, quality of life, survival, muscle mass, performance status, physical function, nutritional risk and treatment tolerance in patients with cancer receiving palliative chemotherapy? Researchers will compare patients receiving the intervention to a historical control cohort following current clinical practice.
• patients who are newly diagnosed with lung, colorectal, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer.
• patients treated with first-line palliative chemotherapy
• patients who are Danish speaking
• patients ≥18 years of age
• patients who are cognitive well-functioning
