摘要：

Cancer and cancer therapy may have adverse effects on food intake, absorption and metabolism resulting in malnutrition. Malnutrition can adversely affect tolerance of therapy and overall survival. Malnutrition is of particular concern in infants and young children due to limited reserves and the effect undernutrition can play on a patient's weight gain, growth, immune function and overall well-being.
