Nutritional aspects in neuroendocrine neoplasms. bridging the gap between dietary interventions and cancer care strategies: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) represent heterogeneous tumors arising from neuroendocrine cells in different organs. Despite growing interest in the nutritional aspects of NEN management, research in this area is limited. Aim of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge, highlight research gaps, and underscore the significance of nutrition in the comprehensive care of NEN patients.

Methods

We conducted an extensive bibliographic search focusing on studies (including retrospective and prospective studies, systematic reviews, case series, and guidelines) exploring the relationship between nutritional assessments, dietary interventions, micronutrient deficiencies, and their impact on NEN outcomes.

Results

Significant gaps exist in current resear
