The Impact of Worsening Nutritional Status in Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on Postoperative Outcomes in Esophageal Cancer
Although NAC reduces tumor burden and eliminates micrometastases, it potentially worsens nutritional status. Chemotherapy-induced hematologic toxicities are a risk factor for this decline. Therefore, comprehensive nutritional assessment and timely intervention during NAC are essential to optimize patient outcomes.
