Abstract:
This systematic review evaluates the impact of specific nutritional supplements in cancer patients. The results suggest that nutrients such as omega-3 and glutamine may improve muscle mass, nutritional status, and quality of life, although effects vary depending on dose and duration. The review emphasizes the need for more studies with higher methodological rigor to establish effective nutritional intervention protocols for cancer patients.
