    AbstractColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Nutritional status has emerged as a significant factor influencing the prognosis and survival of CRC patients. This comprehensive literature review examines the role of nutritional support in improving treatment outcomes, including the efficacy of interventions, patient quality of life (QoL), and the modulation of inflammatory responses. The findings suggest that tailored nutritional interventions improve clinical outcomes, enhance QoL, and reduce treatment-related complications, particularly by attenuating inflammation. Furthermore, the review highlights the cost-effectiveness of nutritional strategies and identifies key methods to enhance patient compliance with dietary recommendations. In conclusion, integrating nutritional support into CRC treatment plans is crucial for optimizing clinical management and improving patient well-being.
