- Klinika dětské hematologie a onkologie, FN Motol, Praha
Appropriate nutritional support is an important part of comprehensive oncology treatment. The aim is to decrease the incidence of
malnutrition. Malnourished patients are in higher risk of infectious and toxic complications, experience worse quality of life. Systematic
survey of nutritional status and early nutritional intervention can eventually lead to better results of oncology treatment. We review the
definitions, etiology and epidemiology of malnutrition, practical approaches to nutritional support of children with cancer.
