Good nutrition for people with cancer may differ from what we think of as healthy

People with cancer often need to follow diets that are different from what we think of as healthy. For most people, a healthy diet includes lots of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, modest amounts of protein, and small amounts of sugar, alcohol, salt, and unhealthy fats.

Historically, weight loss, low body mass index (BMI), and serum albumin levels have been used as surrogate markers for malnutrition.[6,7]

Emerging evidence supports that loss of lean body mass (sarcopenia) in patients with cancer is an independent risk factor for poorer outcomes, and that in the setting of obesity, unlike in other diseases where weight loss may be welcomed, inappropriate loss of weight may lead to loss of muscle mass
