Abstract：Chemotherapy as an important treatment method for liver cancer patients when used in combination with molecular
targeted drug therapy and immunotherapy can significantly improve the treatment effect. However the adverse reactions during
chemotherapy can have an adverse impact on the nutritional status of patients which in turn affects the treatment effect and quality of
life. Therefore nutritional therapy occupies an indispensable position in the treatment system of liver cancer. The adverse reactions
caused by chemotherapy such as nausea vomiting and loss of appetite can directly lead to insufficient nutrient intake in patients
causing malnutrition. Malnutrition can further reduce the physical strength of patients and affect key indicators such as total protein in
the body forming a vicious cycle. This not only reduces the tolerance of patients to chemotherapy but also increases the treatment risk
and reduces the survival rate. On the contrary a good nutritional status can significantly improve the tolerance of patients to
chemotherapy and enhance the body's immunity playing a positive role in improving the treatment effect and survival rate. In terms of
nutritional assessment there are currently a variety of nutritional assessment tools in clinical practice such as GNRI O - PNI
CONUT etc. Studies have shown that a comprehensive assessment combining multiple indicators can more comprehensively and
accurately reflect the nutritional status of patients providing more valuable reference for the formulation of subsequent treatment
plans. A correct nutritional treatment plan can effectively enhance the tolerance of patients to chemotherapy. In conclusion in-depth
research on the nutritional status and nutritional treatment methods of liver cancer patients is of great significance for improving the
comprehensive treatment effect of liver cancer and the prognosis of patients.
