Abstract
Multidisciplinary treatment for esophageal cancer leads to nutritional and inflammatory changes. Recent studies showed that nutritional and inflammatory changes during multidisciplinary treatment affect both short and long-term oncological outcomes in esophageal cancer treatment. Therefore, evaluation of the nutritional and inflammatory status during treatment is necessary in order to optimize and utilize multidisciplinary therapy for esophageal cancer. If patients with esophageal cancer are able to determine their nutritional and inflammatory status, they will be able to select the optimal esophageal cancer, anti-inflammation, and nutritional treatments. Various types of nutrition and inflammation assessment tools have been developed and reported for esophageal cancer, with each tool having its own clinical characteristics, which must be understood before being applied in clinical practice. This review summarizes the background, current status, and future perspectives on the application of nutrition and inflammation assessment tools in esophageal cancer treatment.
