Nutrition support for the patient with cancer is an important part of the overall treatment regimen. Nutrition support for the child with cancer poses a special challenge. For the purpose of reviewing the special nutritional needs of children with cancer, a Task Force was formed by the American Academy of Pediatrics to review the current state of knowledge. The work of the Task Force was supported by the Food and Drug Administration through its Liaison Representative, Joginder Chopra, M.D., Staff support from the Academy was provided by Jean D. Lockhart, M.D., This review is prepared from the Task Force Report to the FDA. It is designed to review factors enhancing nutritional risks for the child with cancer and to discuss nutritional intervention strategies and their efficacies.
