https://doi.org/10.17650/2222-1468-2025-15-2-109-115
Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive types of oncological diseases and is often accompanied by various complications including malnutrition. Despite significant successes in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, late diagnosis, aggressive progression and resistance to traditional therapy methods complicate its treatment.
The article presents the causes, consequences and ways to correct malnutrition in patients with this malignant neoplasm, as well as a clinical case demonstrating the importance of nutritional deficiency screening and timely nutritional support in patients with pancreatic cancer during antitumor treatment.
