    Abstract Wasting in cancer patients has long been recognized as a condition that adversely affects cancer patients' quality of life, treatment tolerance, and oncological outcomes. Historically, this condition was mainly evaluated by changes in body weight. However, this approach is not quite accurate because body weight is the overall change of all body compartments. Conditions such as edema and ascites can mask the severity of muscle and adipose tissue depletion. Changes in body composition assessment in cancer patients have historically been underappreciated because of the limited availability of measurement tools. As more evidence highlighting the importance of body composition has emerged, it is imperative to apply a more precise evaluation of nutritional status and a more targeted approach to provide nutritional support for cancer patients. In this review, we will discuss the modalities for evaluating body composition and how to manage body composition changes in cancer patients.

    Abstract With the term "pharmaconutrition" or "immunonutrition" is intended the use of specific nutritional substrates having the ability of modulating specific mechanisms involved in several immune and inflammatory pathways. To achieve these goals, these substrates have to be administered with over physiologic dose. Glutamine and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, used as single substrate, did not show clear clinical advantages on solid endpoints such as postoperative complications. Despite several multiple substrate enteral feeds are available on the market, very few of them have been tested in randomized clinical trial to prove efficacy. The most extensive investigated formulation is a combination of arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, ribonucleic acid with or without glutamine. Several meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials have been conducted to compare the effects of enteral immunonutrition with control diets on post-surgical morbidity. The results consistently showed that the use of enteral multiple substrate formulas significantly reduced infectious complications and duration of hospitalization. In a more contemporary view, pharmaconutrition should be tested more accurately in the contest of enhanced recovery programs, during neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and in the prehabilitation setting.

    Abstract Pancreatic surgery is nowadays considered one of the most complex surgical approaches and not unscathed from complications. After the surgical procedure, cross-sectional imaging is considered the non-invasive reference standard to detect early and late compilations, and consequently to address patients to the best management possible. Contras-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) should be considered the most important and useful imaging technique to evaluate the surgical site. Thanks to its speed, contrast, and spatial resolution, it can help reach the final diagnosis with high accuracy. On the other hand, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be considered as a second-line imaging approach, especially for the evaluation of biliary findings and late complications. In both cases, the radiologist should be aware of protocols and what to look at, to create a robust dialogue with the surgeon and outline a fitted treatment for each patient.

    Abstract Background & aim: The perioperative severe changes in the nutritional and metabolic homeostasis are, by some means, proportional to the extent of tissue injury and magnitude of operative trauma. An adequate qualitative and quantitative replacement of nutritional substrates are of utmost importance to facilitate proper tissue healing and recovery and maintenance of organ function after surgery.
    Methods: The present manuscript has been planned to put the most recent research of the Milano-Bicocca University surgical working group in the context of a more personalized nutritional therapy and metabolic care for surgical patients. Particular prominence has been given to major pancreatic resections because these surgeries are among the most complex and challenging operations for the degree of parenchyma resection and tissue dissection, the consequent overall injury, and the fairly high rate of major complications resulting in a catabolic response.
    Results: Anthropometric parameters and particularly sarcopenia, visceral obesity - and their relative proportion -, are strongly associated with poor outcome after pancreatic surgery. Adequate perioperative nutritional therapy is of utmost importance in affecting morbidity. Long-term nutritional and metabolic sequelae, caused by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, need to be promptly recognized and treated with an adequate enzyme supplementation.
    Conclusions: There is strong evidence sustaining the necessity of proper perioperative metabolic and nutritional care into the management of patients undergoing major pancreatic surgery.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The aim of this review is to give an overview of recently published articles covering preoperative carbohydrate loading in surgical patients.
    Recent findings: Between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019, 26 publications addressing the effect of carbohydrate load were retrieved through a systematic search. Seventeen were randomized clinical trials, three prospective observational studies and six retrospective series with case-control comparison. Most of the studies were underpowered, addressed surrogate endpoints, and variability among dose and timing of carbohydrate (CHO) treatment was high. The most recent literature endorses preoperative carbohydrate loading up to 2 h before operations as a safe treatment. The new evidence confirm that this strategy is effective in reducing perioperative insulin resistance and the proportion of hyperglycemia episodes, and improving patient well-being and comfort but without affecting surgery-related morbidity.
    Summary: Further properly designed randomized clinical trials, addressing more clinically relevant endpoints such as length of hospitalization and morbidity rate, are warrant.
