    Malnutrition significantly affects 25%-70% of cancer patients, leading to treatment intolerance and poor outcomes.

  • 2

    The PG-SGA tool effectively assesses malnutrition risk in cancer patients, correlating with overall survival outcomes.

  • 3

    Patients with intermediate/high malnutrition risk according to PG-SGA have worse overall survival compared to low-risk patients.

  • 4

    This study analyzed nutritional trajectories in advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients to identify survival outcome associations.

  • 5

    A prognostic model was developed to integrate nutritional risk evolution and clinical examinations for personalized oncology care.
