CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Tumor and its therapy have adverse effects on the nutritional status of cancer patients, leading to nutritional support. The aim was to study enteral nutrition indications, as well as its compliance and the impact on nutritional status. DESIGN AND SETTING: Clinical trial, IOP, Unifesp-EPM. METHODS: Patients older than 1 year followed during anticancer therapy were included from January 2002 to January 2004. They received industrialized oral supplementation - Nutren 1.0 or Jr (IOS) and were followed on a weekly basis and reevaluated on weeks 3, 8 and 12: at these times, if inadequate outcome was observed, tube feeding with the same supplement (TFR) was indicated.

Background: The investigators have previously documented that patients at nutritional risk lack sufficient energy and protein intake. In 2009 the investigators conducted a non-randomized historically controlled intervention study of 40 patients at nutritional risk. The study indicated that a tailored food concept increased nutritional intake in this patient group. The objective of the current study is therefore to investigate these findings in a randomized clinical trial. Our target is for 75% of patients in the intervention group to reach 75% of their energy and protein requirements. Methods: The study will compare standard nutritional care (control group) with tailored nutritional care (the possibility to order small energy and protein-enriched dishes called "Delights of Herlev Hospital"). 96 patients at nutritional risk, according to the NRS-2002 criteria, will be included in the study.
