Abstract
Early nutrition assessment is needed in order to identify and treat malnutrition at an early stage, as this can have a negative impact on treatment outcomes in terms of postoperative complications, chemotherapy efficacy and tolerability. Despite this scientifically knowledge, there is a need for improvement, as cancer-related risk of malnutrition is still too often not assessed and therefore not noticed early enough by health professionals and not treated adequately. The aim is the comparison of findings from a literature review on early identification of cancer-related malnutrition in patients with colorectal cancer with an analyses of daily clinical standard practice.
