How Malnutrition Affects Survival in Advanced Cervical Cancer Treated with CCRT
Understanding the Link Between Nutrition and Cancer Treatment Outcomes Locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) presents a significant challenge for patients and clinicians alike. Treatment often involves concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), a standard approach that combines chemotherapy with radiation to improve tumor control. Emerging research highlights a crucial, yet sometimes overlooked, factor influencing treatment success: nutritional status.…

Malnutrition Impacts Survival in CCRT for Advanced Cervical Cancer
Overview Malnutrition, cachexia, and sarcopenia are increasingly recognized as important prognostic factors in cancer care. In locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) face a delicate balance between effective tumor control and the risk of treatment-related toxicity. A recent scoping review highlights that nutritional status independently influences both survival and toxicity outcomes.…

Malnutrition Undermines Survival in Advanced Cervical Cancer Undergoing CCRT
Impact of Nutrition on Outcomes in Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) is typically treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Recent research underscores a powerful, yet often overlooked, factor shaping patient outcomes: nutritional status. Cachexia, sarcopenia, and overall malnutrition are not just background concerns; they independently correlate with survival and treatment-related toxicity in…
