Malnutrition and sarcopenia are common complications in patients with malignant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. During chemotherapy there is a high risk of further impairment of nutritional status due to anorexia, nausea, emesis and other gastrointestinal conditions that adversely impact food assimilation or absorption. Findings on changes of nutritional status during chemotherapy are scarce but of paramount importance for adequate nutrition therapy. Therefore, this study aims to provide a detailed description of changes in nutritional status of patients with a malignant condition of the gastrointestinal tract during chemotherapy.
