Nutrition as a Non‑Negotiable in Oncology

In this Danone Nutricia Campus (DNC) video, Prof. Maurizio Muscaritoli explains why medical nutrition is a therapeutic, multimodal pillar of cancer care. You will see how malnutrition, sarcopenia, and muscle loss drive poorer treatment tolerance, morbidity, quality of life, and survival, and why integrating nutrition from diagnosis is crucial for outcomes.

What HCPs Will Learn and How It Helps Practice

Strengthen day‑to‑day oncology care with practical, evidence‑based takeaways:

• What medical nutrition includes across oral, enteral and parenteral strategies.
• Why cancer‑related malnutrition is multifactorial and demands multimodal intervention.
• How low muscle mass increases toxicity and reduces treatment response.
• How to implement a parallel metabolic and nutritional pathway from diagnosis onward.
• A simple 3‑question screening tool targeting intake, weight loss and muscle function.
• Key energy and protein targets that help prevent sarcopenia and poor outcomes.
• Why multidisciplinary teams and nutrition experts in tumor boards improve care quality.
