Addressing conceptual and design gaps in the oncology nutrition evidence base during chemotherapy: contributions of the Exercise and Nutrition Interventions to Improve Cancer Treatment-Related Outcomes Consortium.

ABSTRACT: Evidence to support the development of practice guidelines on nutrition interventions during active cancer treatment is limited despite the established role of nutrition in cancer prevention and long-term survivorship. To address this gap, the National Cancer Institute funded the Exercise and Nutrition Interventions to Improve Cancer Treatment-Related Outcomes (ENICTO) research consortium. This manuscript focuses on the nutrition-specific work within the ENICTO Consortium. We present a conceptual framework describing how nutritional interventions may enhance cancer treatment tolerance and timely completion of chemotherapy. We also describe how each ENICTO research project selected specific nutrition-related data items and collection methods to test hypotheses outlined in the conceptual fra
