Malnutrition in cancer patients undergoing a surgical procedure is one of the main nutritional factors associated with adverse clinical outcomes such as increased risk of infections, increased risk of fistula formation, increased length of stay, as well as an increased mortality risk. Immunonutrition (IMN) is defined as the use of nutrients at doses much higher than daily requirements in order to modulate the response of the host immune system, the inflammatory process, and improve the nutritional status of surgical patients. It is important to describe the current status of the use of IMN in cancer patients undergoing surgery in order to apply nutritional therapy appropriately to reduce adverse clinical outcomes and improve prognosis. The aim of this review is to learn about the current state of the art of IMN in surgical oncology patients and offer recommendations for clinical practice based on the best scientific evidence currently available.
