The present study aimed to determine the extent of malnutrition in preoperative colorectal cancer patients. Malnutrition has been shown affect post-operative outcome, so it would be beneficial identify those who are malnourished or at risk becoming preoperatively. We examine whether weight loss is related length stay changes fat free mass.Patients were enrolled consecutively from outpatients 2-4 weeks prior surgery. Assessments included body mass index, percentage loss, dynamometry,...
Recently, the number of prehabilitation trials has increased significantly. The identification key research priorities is vital in guiding future directions. Thus, aim this collaborative study was to define for patients undergoing cancer surgery.The Delphi methodology implemented over three rounds surveys distributed experts from across multiple specialties, tumour streams and countries via a secure online platform. In first round, participants were asked provide baseline demographics...

Abstract Background Pre‐operative weight loss has been consistently associated with increased post‐operative morbidity. The study aims to determine if pre‐operative oral nutritional supplements (ONSs) dietary advice reduce complications. Methods Single‐blinded randomized controlled trial. People colorectal cancer scheduled for surgery >1 kg/3–6 months were by using stratified blocks (1:1 ratio) in six hospitals (1 November 2013–28 February 2015). Intervention group was given 250 mL/day...
The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programme is an approach to the perioperative care of patients which aims improve outcomes and speed up recovery after surgery. Although evidence base appears strong for this programme, implementation ERAS has been slow. This study aimed gain understanding facilitating factors challenges implementing with a view providing additional contextual information aid implementation. had particular focus on nutritional elements as these have highlighted...
Malnutrition is a problem in advanced cancer, particularly ovarian cancer where malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) frequent complication. Parenteral nutrition the only way these patients can received adequate and principal indication for palliative home parenteral (HPN). Giving HPN contentious as it may increase burden on patients. This study investigates patients' family caregivers' experiences of HPN, alongside nutritional status survival with MBO.This mixed methods collected data...
