This educational activity is intended for an international audience of non-US healthcare professionals, specifically hematologists/oncologists, critical care specialists, emergency care physicians, and nutritionists involved in the management of critically-ill and surgical cancer patients.
The goal of this activity is to improve physicians' understanding of nutrition as an independent risk factor of prognostic value and a therapeutic target in critically ill and surgical cancer patients.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
