Summary

This study tests a program called STRONG that provides remote dietitian visits and food tracking for people with gastroesophageal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and helps reduce malnutrition compared to usual care. About 80 participants will receive nutrition counseling via video calls and use an app to log meals.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Dietitian consultation and nutrition guidance via telehealth
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that remote nutrition support helps cancer patients maintain weight and strength during treatment, potentially reducing malnutrition.
What could go wrong: This is a small feasibility study (80 people) testing if the program is practical, not whether it works. It may not show clear benefits or apply to all patients.
