Summary

The use of immunomodulants in patients with GI cancer has been progressively gaining attention in the last years, as a high-calorie-high-protein nutritional blend enriched in immunonutrients has shown efficacy in several studies in reducing the risk of post-operative complications and the length of stay of patients undergoing major cancer surgery.

The guidelines for the nutritional management of patients with cancer agree on the utility of nutritional support, whenever it is necessary, to improve clinical outcomes, and the efficacy and tolerability of treatments.

To our knowledge, this is among the first clinical trial specifically designed to evaluate the role of immunomodulants-enriched ONS in combination with nutritional counseling in reducing serious AEs rate in patients with advanced GI cancers undergoing systemic treatments.
