Impact of nutritional status in the quality of life (QoL) of patients with advanced gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) in Spain: NUTRIGETNE Study

#4069

Introduction: Prevalence of malnutrition and sarcopenia is high among patients with advanced GEP-NENs and may significantly decrease response to therapy and impair QoL.

Aim(s): To describe the impact of nutritional status on QoL patient reported outcomes in patients with advanced GEP NENs in Spain.

Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study that included 399 patients with GEP-NENs at a metastatic/unresectable stage and active oncological treatment. Patients had a complete physical examination, anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, dynamometry, laboratory analysis, nutritional risk assessment and QoL assessment by EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Malnutrition was defined according to GLIM criteria.
