Chapter 14 Consequences of Cancer SUMMARY

The key to optimizing the nutritional status of older adults in the cancer care setting is creating an indi- vidualized nutrition care plan, with an emphasis on achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight and striving to improve quality of life. Because many older adults may present at the time of diagno- sis with a multitude of health, social, and nutrition problems, early nutrition screening, assessment, and intervention are paramount. By using a proactive approach to nutrition support, the older adult and the caregiver will feel empowered to take a more active role in the treatment plan.
