Summary

Sarcopenia is a condition of reduced skeletal muscle associated with aging. It leads to poor outcome and increased risk of postoperative complications. Achieving protein and energy requirements is crucial point in sarcopenia treatment. In preoperative patients, daily consumption of protein should be at least 1.2-2.0 g of protein/kg/day or 25-35 g of protein in a meal to provide muscular protein synthesis.

The objective of this study is to show that preoperative enteral protein supplementation in elderly cancerous patients, who are diagnosed with sarcopenia, can decrease morbidity such as postoperative complications; mortality and improve postoperative clinical outcomes after elective surgery.
