“Studies of the body composition of patients with cancer reveal that it is specifically the loss of skeletal muscle- with or without loss of fat – which is the main aspect of cancer-associated malnutrition that predicts risk of physical impairment, post-operative complication, chemotherapy toxicity and survival”.

Arends J, et al. Clin Nutr. 2017;36(1):11-48.

LOW MUSCLE MASS IS A DEFINING FEATURE OF MALNUTRITION IN CANCER

Take Home Message # 2:Low muscle mass is prevalent in cancer. It occurs at any body weight, cancer type, stage and age and worsens prognosis.

Low muscle mass

Physical impairment /

disability

Greater length of hospital stay

Need for rehabilitation

Post-operative complicationsPoor QofL

Tumorprogression /

toxicity

Shorter survival

The goals of nutritional and metabolic therapy,therefore, must place considerable emphasis on

maintenance or gain of muscle mass.

ASPEN 2009 ONCOLOGY NUTRITION GUIDELINE EXAMPLES

• Patients with cancer are nutritionally‐at‐risk and should undergo nutrition screening to identify those who require formal nutrition assessment with development of a nutrition care plan. (D)

• Nutrition support therapy is appropriate in patients receiving active anticancer treatment who are malnourished and who are anticipated to be unable to ingest and/or absorb adequate nutrients for a prolonged period of time (see Guideline 6 Rationale for discussion of prolonged period of time”). (B)

• The palliative use of nutrition support therapy in terminally ill cancer patients is rarely indicated. (B)

• ω‐3 Fatty acid supplementation may help stabilize weight in cancer patients on oral diets experiencing progressive, unintentional weight loss. (B)

• Immune‐enhancing enteral formulas containing mixtures of arginine, nucleic acids, and essential fatty acids may be beneficial in malnourished patients undergoing major cancer operations. (A)

BUILDING ALLIANCES: INTEGRATING NUTRITION INTO GLOBAL ONCOLOGY TREATMENT GUIDELINES

• NCCN: Registered dietitian referral added to specific treatment guides:

– Pancreatic, Head and Neck, Esophageal

• ASCO

“Recommendation 1.1. Clinicians may refer patients with advanced cancer and loss of appetite and/or body weight to a registered dietitian for assessment and counseling, with the goals of providing patients and caregivers with practical and safe advice for feeding; education regarding high-protein, high-calorie, nutrient-dense food; and advice against fad diets and other unproven or extreme diets (Type of recommendation: informal consensus; Evidence quality: low; Strength of recommendation: moderate).”

2016 ESPEN GUIDELINES ON NUTRITION IN CANCER PATIENTSScreening Assessment Intervention Screening/Assessment

• Nutritional management as proposed by the guideline will require screening for malnutrition in all and further assessment and treatment in a relevant fraction of cancer patients.

• Nutrition counselling by a health care professional is regarded as the 1st line of nutrition therapy. Professional counselling, as distinct from brief and casual nutritional “advice”, is a dedicated and repeated professional communication process...

• Theoretical arguments that nutrients “feed the tumor” are not supported by evidence related to clinical outcome and should not be used to refuse, diminish, or stop feeding.

• We recommend, that total energy expenditure of cancer patients, if not measured individually, be assumed to be similar to healthy subjects and generally ranging between 25 and 30 kcal/kg/day

• We recommend that protein intake should be above 1 g/kg/day and, if possible up to 1.5 g/kg/day

STRATEGIES FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE TO IMPROVE DIRECT PATIENT CARE INTERVENTIONS

• “Harmonize” with standardized care pathways/algorithms• National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) – Nutrition for Cancer Survivors• Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA) - Head and Neck Guidelines• Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC)• Academy of Nutrition – Oncology EAL

• Standardize care among nutrition staff• NFPE• Nutrition assessment• Malnutrition diagnosis and coding• MNT interventions: provide individualized nutrition interventions

• Nutrition education and nutrition counseling• Food and nutrient delivery

• Energy / nutrient dense• Enteral/parenteral nutrition

• Get nutrition into care plans, discharge instructions, survivorship plans

• Use of technology to provide education and resources that frees up RDN time for direct patient interventions

• e.g. Use social media to create education for immediate access:

• Information for patients new to treatment (e.g. “try this first”), common questions, de-bunking, cancer prevention, Survivorship

• Training materials for other disciplines triaging nutrition distress

IDENTIFY FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR UPDATING THE CURRENT NUTRITION GUIDELINES TO IMPROVE ONCOLOGY

NUTRITION CLINICAL PRACTICE

7/20/2020

• Oncology organizations need to create nutrition guidelines• Requirement for nutrition screening for all oncology patients

applied through out treatment • Start with consensus project!

• Incorporate “Symptom Tracking” into documentation• accurate capture of the patient experience (timing, severity,

intensity and resolution)• leading to real time symptom management

• Requirement utilization of Malnutrition Diagnosis and coding as documented by RDNs

Page 66: ONCOLOGY NUTRITION IN 2020: THE INTERSECTION OF … · 2020. 7. 22. · oncology nutrition in 2020: the intersection of evidence, guidelines and clinical practice. july 22, 2020.

IDENTIFY FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR UPDATING THE CURRENT NUTRITION GUIDELINES TO IMPROVE ONCOLOGY

NUTRITION CLINICAL PRACTICE

7/20/2020

• RDNs participate in research • if you are involved in a research – get the terminology that a “RDN provided MNT” into the

description of the study

• Tools to measure and capture the effectiveness of RDN interventions• Learn something from other disciplines (applied care / RN vs. measured

progress SLP/PT)

The Academy: • Update the Oncology EAL• Oncology nutrition benchmarking to officially address how much work is possible • Improve national standards for oncology nutrition documentation• Reimbursement for efficacious nutrition therapy• Volunteer with the Oncology Nutrition – DPG!
