Summary

Older patients with cancer are poorly treated or not treated at all. A previous study in the south west of France (364 patients) showed that patients receiving chemotherapy had short survival times which strongly depended on nutritional status. In this study, the researchers would like to evaluate if individual dietician follow-up at each cycle of chemotherapy increases survival of patients at risk of undernutrition.
