Effectiveness of home-based exercise combined with nutritional care intervention in elderly patients with gastric cancer and sarcopenia: a retrospective study
The home-based exercise combined with nutritional care intervention significantly enhanced nutritional status, reduced PG-SGA scores, and improved QoL in elderly patients with gastric cancer and sarcopenia. This integrated approach demonstrates its value as an effective strategy for comprehensive cancer care, addressing both physical and nutritional deficits to optimize recovery outcomes.
