Résumé

Malnutrition in cancer patients often remains undetected and underestimated in clinical practice despite studies revealing prevalences from 20 to 70%. Therefore, this study aimed to identify patient groups exposed to an increased nutritional risk in a university oncological outpatient center. Between May 2017 and January 2018 we screened oncological patients there using the malnutrition universal screening tool (MUST). Qualitative data were collected by a questionnaire to learn about patients' individual information needs and changes in patients' diets and stressful personal nutrition restrictions. We included 311 patients with various cancers. 20.3% ( This study confirms that using the MUST score is a valid screening procedure to identify outpatients at risk of developing malnutrition. Here one in five was at high risk, but only 1% would have been detected by BMI alone. Therefore, an ongoing screening procedure with meaningful parameters should be urgently implemented into the clinical routine of cancer outpatients as recommended in international guidelines.
