Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Several patients that suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) cancer are characterized by malnutrition and impairment of their functional status. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the nutritional condition of patients undergoing surgery due to GI cancer and compare it with their functional status. All consecutive patients with esophageal, gastric, colorectal, hepatocellular, pancreatic and biliary cancer, that underwent a surgical operation will be included. Demographic characteristics, nutritional assessment and anthropometric measurements of the patients will be recorded.
