Key objectives
Prof. Riccardo Caccialanza presents a case for addressing unmet nutritional needs in cancer care:
- There are clear unmet needs in patient care linked to low awareness and resources, disparity in reimbursement and lack of nutritional protocols.
- Early screening and early nutritional interventions have clear benefits for the patient and the healthcare system.
- Multidisciplinary collaboration and structured care pathways are key in improving nutritional support for cancer patients.
- The Lombardy pathway is a successful regional initiative for standardised screening, training, and policy alignment.
