abstract: The reduced nutritional state of cancer patients can be influenced by a purposeful feeding, which decreases the rate of complicating factors and diminishes side effects resulting from the often aggressive cancer therapy. Multimorbidity, a change in the need for nutritive substances in advanced age and senile functional changes in numerous organs make it a necessity to adapt elderly cancer patients trophotherapy to these conditions.
