    CLINICAL EVIDENCE AND GUIDELINES FOR CANCER PATIENTS

    Recommended Protein Intake:

     Cancer patients need 1.2 to 2.0 g/kg/day of protein, depending on health, cancer type,
    treatment stage, and nutritional status.

    Rationale for Increased Protein Needs:

     Cancer Cachexia: Prevents muscle wasting and preserves lean body mass.

     Treatment Effects: Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation increase protein needs for tissue
    repair and immune function.

     Immune Function: Adequate protein intake supports immune health, reducing infection risks.

    Protein Sources:

     Animal Sources: Lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy.

     Plant-Based Sources: Legumes, soy products, tofu, tempeh, whole grains.

     Supplements: Protein shakes, powders, or oral nutritional supplements.

     Leucine-Rich Foods: Dairy, eggs, soy—important for muscle synthesis.

    Protein Intake Across Cancer Stages:

     Pre-treatment & Early Treatment: Higher end of the range (1.5–2.0 g/kg/day) to maintain
    muscle mass.

     During Treatment: Small, frequent meals may be needed due to nausea or appetite loss.

     Post-treatment/Recovery: Protein remains essential to rebuild muscle.

     Palliative Care: Focus on comfort, but adequate nutrition can improve quality of life.

    Considerations for Special Cancer Types:

     Head & Neck Cancer: May require enteral nutrition due to swallowing issues.

     Gastrointestinal Cancers: Digestive issues may necessitate easily digestible protein sources and
    supplements.

    Special Guidelines & Clinical Trials:

     ESPEN Guidelines: Recommend early screening for malnutrition and individualized nutritional
    plans.

     Clinical Trials: Investigate higher protein intake and leucine's role in muscle preservation.

    Potential Risks & Monitoring:

     Monitor kidney function and nutritional status, especially in patients with coexisting conditions
    (e.g., renal impairment).

     Regularly assess muscle mass, weight, and overall energy intake.
