ABSTRACT: Breast
cancer patients face different nutritional problems at each stage. However, the
nutrition of breast cancer patients has not been taken seriously. As a result,
some patients cannot tolerate treatment due to poor nutrition, thus affecting
the prognosis. This study aims to introduce a typical case to explore the
whole-course (started at admission and ended 5 years after
surgery) and Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs) (comprising physician, primary nurse, case manager, nutrition liaison and
nutrition specialist nurse) nutritional management mode of breast cancer
patients. The patient successfully completed the scheduled treatment by
implementing the whole-course and multidisciplinary nutrition management. The
mode can prospectively and dynamically estimate the changes in patients’ nutritional status, and provide timely
nutritional intervention to promote patient outcomes.
