Cancer-related cachexia affects approximately 50% to 80% of cancer patients and contributes significantly to cancer-related mortality, accounting for 20% of deaths. This multifactorial syndrome is characterized by systemic inflammation, anorexia, and elevated energy expenditure, leading to severe weight loss and muscle wasting. Understanding the underlying mechanisms is critical for developing effective interventions. While progress has been made over the past decade, most therapeutic approaches have centered on pharmacological agents or nutritional supplements. This systematic review seeks to address a critical gap by examining interventional studies that focus on nonpharmacological, nonsupplement, and nonparenteral strategies for managing cancer-related cachexia.

To develop temporal symptom networks at three postoperative chemotherapy time points and investigate the longitudinal relationships between 18 symptoms in patients with gastric cancer undergoing postoperative chemotherapy in China.

Malnutrition is a prevalent condition in cancer patients that significantly impacts patients' clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). The outcome was to characterize the nutritional status by describing the prevalence of malnutrition (mild, moderate, or severe) and its risk in outpatient cancer patients.

Robust evidence highlights the crucial role of nutrition for people with cancer, and international organizations recognize it as a basic human right linked to health and food. Within this context, we aim to emphasize the critical role of nutrition care for cancer patients and to highlight the essential contributions of nurses in providing patient-centered nutrition care.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Reiki applied to cancer patients on their pain, anxiety, and stress levels.

Technology-based interventions are increasingly integrated to improve symptom management of pediatric oncology patients. However, evidence for their effectiveness remains low across various studies characterized by different methodologies and patient populations. This study aimed to synthesize and analyze the effectiveness of technology-based intervention in symptom management in pediatric oncology patients.

To test the Self-Care Oral Anticancer Agents Index (SCOAAI)'s psychometric properties (structural validity, convergent validity, predictive validity, and internal consistency) in a sample of patients with solid tumour on Oral anticancer agents (OAA).

To conceptualize rumination in adult cancer care.

To identify composition, predictors, outcomes and stability of symptom clusters in brain tumor patients and to examine assessment tools and statistical methods.

Breast cancer survivorship is a complex, chronic condition requiring personalized interventions. While nutrition is widely recognized as a key component of Survivorship Care Plans (SCPs), there is limited implementation of nutritional interventions in routine survivorship care. This discussion paper explores strategies to individualize nutritional care for breast cancer survivors (BCSs), identifies barriers to implementation, and proposes actionable solutions to improve adherence.

This scoping review aims to map out evidence on interventions for reducing lower limb lymphedema incidence and symptoms after gynecological cancer surgery.

This paper addresses nutritional challenges in advanced cancer and at the end of life and implications for oncology nursing practice.

Lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy are present in multiple Nutrition Impact Symptoms (NIS). There have been no studies utilizing symptom networks to identify core NIS in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, it is necessary to identify core symptoms for effective and precise symptom management. We aimed to construct a symptom network of NIS in lung cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, and explore the core Nutrition Impact Symptoms cluster.

This article aims to investigate the effects of a postoperative dietary intervention on fatigue, self-efficacy in managing gastrointestinal side effects, self-efficacy for nutritional management, self-care activity, and unmet nursing needs among patients with gastric cancer who have undergone gastrectomy.

Evolving digital technology has paved the way for endless potentiality. Leveraging on digital technology for healthcare purposes can target cancer patients, thus improving physical and psychological symptoms. Nevertheless, there is limited consolidated evidence on the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) and mobile applications. This review aimed to synthesize evidence concerning the effectiveness of VR and mobile-based interventions on physical (pain, fatigue, and sleep) and psychological (anxiety and depression) outcomes among cancer patients.

Information from indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography (ICG-L) can be used to guide an individual's lymphedema therapy plan. However, the mechanisms for this clinical translation are not well described. This study proposes a novel clinical decision support tool for translating ICG-L findings into individualized lymphedema therapy plans and describes subsequent changes in plan features of manual lymphatic drainage and compression.

Malnutrition is very common in people with cancer. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) recommendation on criteria has been proposed as a gold standard for diagnosing malnutrition. The diagnosis of malnutrition includes phenotypic criteria such as unintentional weight loss and etiologic criteria such as reduced food intake. The aim of this review is to summarise the evidence on the GLIM-defined malnutrition association with clinical outcomes and its predictive value.

Pediatric oncology nursing is a challenging and emotionally exhausting profession. Understanding the challenges and struggles faced by pediatric oncology nurses can help to create targeted interventions that will improve their well-being and enhance the quality of care for children with cancer and their families. This study aimed to explore the challenges and struggles nurses face in their daily care practices.
