Abstract:
Micronutrients (MNs), including vitamins and trace elements, play an indispensable role in human metabolism, immune function and other aspects. Due to the chronic microinflammation and long-term chemoradiotherapy, patients with malignant tumors often suffer from malnutrition, resulting in different degrees of MNs deficiency. In severe cases, MNs deficiency is closely related to the adverse clinical outcomes. Therefore, reasonable MNs supplementation is of great significance in improving the prognosis and quality of life of patients with tumors. Recently, multiple guidelines have made recommendations on the application of MN supplementation in various clinical settings, providing evidence for the standardized MN supplementation in patients with malignant tumors.
