High-Protein Supplementation During Cancer Therapy

This video offers a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the effects of high-protein supplementation in patients undergoing cancer treatment. Cancer patients often struggle to meet increased protein needs through diet alone, making oral nutritional supplements a valuable tool. The authors recommend integrating protein supplementation into routine care, alongside adequate energy, and nutrient intake, to support better outcomes.
