ClinConnect Summary

The clinical trial titled "Management of Malnutrition in Oncogeriatrics" is focused on understanding and treating undernutrition in older cancer patients. Undernutrition is a serious issue, especially among those over 70, and can affect their overall health and recovery. This trial aims to identify patients aged 70 and older who have moderate to severe undernutrition and are currently undergoing cancer treatment. By diagnosing and managing this condition early, the study hopes to improve the health and quality of life for these patients.

If you're a caregiver or family member of an older adult with cancer who might be experiencing undernutrition, this trial could be relevant. Eligible participants must be 70 years or older and diagnosed with moderate to severe undernutrition while receiving cancer treatment. Unfortunately, those under 70, those no longer in active treatment, or those preparing for surgery won't be included. Throughout the study, participants can expect support in managing their nutritional needs, which is vital for their recovery and well-being.
