Building a Stronger Foundation for Systematic Screening in Oncology
In this Danone Nutricia Campus (DNC) resource, Dr. Marieke Schooneman shares the inspiring journey of a Dutch cancer center working to implement structured, patient‑centered nutritional screening. The video highlights current gaps in nutritional support across Europe, including limited referrals, fragmented handovers, and the consequences of weight loss, reduced intake, and treatment‑related taste changes. You will hear how local innovation, multidisciplinary collaboration, and a simple business case are helping transform nutrition into a core component of oncology care.
What Healthcare Professionals Will Learn
This resource equips HCPs with actionable insights to strengthen clinical practice:
Why all patients with a cancer diagnosis should be viewed as at nutritional risk.
How nutritional triage led by case managers and dietitians supports early identification of issues and timely intervention.
How different patient groups benefit from focused guidance, such as those at early risk, those with high‑risk diagnoses, those already malnourished, and those who gain weight but lose muscle.
The importance of structured collaboration with community dietitians to ensure continuity of care.
How combining nutrition and physiotherapy helps address sarcopenia and supports better tolerance to treatment.
These learnings help HCPs strengthen continuity of care, enhance patient outcomes, and embed nutrition as an essential therapeutic tool in oncology pathways.
