However, a significant number of patients at nutritional risk remain undetected due to the lack of a routine screening procedure during diagnosis. Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella (Málaga), Spain has implemented a protocol for outpatients with cancer aimed at identifying and treating malnutrition at an early stage.

We conducted a complete assessment of the nutritional status of patients with cancer of the upper digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, or biliary tract) or head and neck cancer.
