Study Description

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy oral nutrition supplement (ONS) in malnutrition/high risk malnutrition cancer patients. The main questions it aims to answer: 1. Are there differences in knowledge, attitude and behaviour scores in cancer patients who receive cancer-specific ONS compared to those who do not receive cancer-specific ONS? 2. Is there a difference in nutritional status as assessed by average body weight, body mass index (BMI), haemoglobin (Hb), and albumin levels in cancer patients who receive cancer-specific ONS compared to those who do not receive cancer-specific ONS?

Detailed Description: This study uses an open label randomized clinical trial (RCT) design, double arm which allows subjects and researchers to know the interventions received by subjects conducted on cancer patient subjects. The study aims to compare knowledge, attitudes, and actions related to nutrition consumption through questionnaires, nutritional status assessed from anthropometry (BW and BMI), nutrient intake, as well as laboratory results (Hb, serum albumin), quality of life, and inflammatory markers (CRP, TNF-α, IL(interleukin)-1, IL-6) between the group of subjects who were given dietary counseling and ONS/oral nutrition supplement (intervention group) for 8 weeks compared to the group of subjects who only received dietary counseling and did not receive ONS (control group). Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized into 2 groups using the stratified block randomization method stratified by age, and cancer type. Randomization will be carried out using a system in the application by stratifying the age of the subject based on the categorical age which has been categorized into 18-45 years and \>45 years. For the type of cancer stratified into two, namely lung cancer and gynecology cancer according to the inclusion criteria. Both stratified will be randomized using excel application that will randomize 80 subjects at the beginning of the research study.
