Nutritional status and ovarian cancer

Women's general health is dependent on their diet and nutrition. Nutrient shortages can have an impact on one's health and vice versa. Ovarian cancer is the third most common gynecologic malignancy, and nutritional status appears to be linked to prognosis in individuals with gynecologic malignancies. As a result, it's critical to assess, monitor, and enhance the nutritional health of ovarian cancer patients during their therapy. Furthermore, it appears that the dietary health of patients undergoing treatment has an impact on their survival rate. Antineoplastic chemotherapy affects both diseased and non-cancerous cells, resulting in a high level of toxicity. The treatment's biological aggression has side effects that make eating difficult, resulting in a nutritionally impaired state that can lead to malnutrition. Nutritional intervention should be an intrinsic aspect of cancer treatment to maintain and/or improve patients' nutritional status and reduce or minimize side effects, given the high frequency of adverse consequences. As a result, the objective of this review was to review the available evidence on the association between nutritional status and ovarian cancer.
