title: Nutritional assessment and therapy in advanced urothelial cancer.
abstract: Patients with advanced urothelial cancers often have cachexia and anorexia resulting in severe malnutrition and depressed immunologic function. Careful nutritional assessment early in their evaluation and early use of parenteral and enteral nutritional supplements play an important role in allowing these patients to withstand their therapies safely as well as in improving their prognosis.
