Abstract：Rational nutritional therapy plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life reducing complications lowering
treatment costs and enhancing the prognosis of cancer patients. Due to the disease itself and the effects of treatment cancer patients
often face severe malnutrition however the current rate of clinical nutritional intervention still needs improvement. In 2024 Chinese
researchers achieved significant breakthroughs across several key areas of oncology nutrition encompassing cancer prevention
metabolic intervention nutritional assessment and mechanistic studies In cancer prevention studies have shown that specific foods
such as onions and cruciferous vegetables can significantly reduce the risk of liver and gastrointestinal cancers Regarding metabolic
and nutritional interventions and assessment research revealed that a serine / glycine - free diet can enhance the effectiveness of
immunotherapy methionine supplementation can improve muscle atrophy caused by cancer cachexia sarcopenic obesity is closely
associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients whereas a high BMI has a protective effect in elderly cancer patients. Mechanistic
investigations further elucidated tumor cells drive immune evasion through metabolic competition providing a theoretical basis for
precision therapies targeting metabolic pathways. In the future artificial intelligence technologies will empower research in oncology
nutrition and metabolism promoting the design of individualized and precise nutritional prescriptions. These high - level research
findings provide important evidence-based medical support for nutritional therapy in cancer helping to advance the field toward greater
precision and individualization.
