About this trial

The aim of the Italian Registry of Malnutrition in Oncology (IRMO) is to set up a digital register of newly diagnosed or treated oncologic patients to monitor their nutritional status, early identify malnutrition and investigate the implications of nutritional support management. In particular, this project aims to establish a prospective cohort of cancer patients in order to investigate the effects of nutritional status and management on overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS), and analyse the effects of the nutritional management and support on patients' symptoms and QoL.
