How does the Remote Nutrition Support treatment for gastroesophageal cancer differ from other treatments?
This treatment is unique because it uses mobile health (mHealth) technology to provide early and intensive nutrition support remotely, before patients are admitted to the hospital. This approach aims to improve nutritional status and quality of life by connecting patients with dietitians through phone calls or mobile apps, which is not a standard practice in traditional cancer care.348910
