Abstract: The role of the nutritive support in the treatment of the patients with oncological diseases can hardly be overvalued. One of the stages of the nutritive support is the presurgical assessment of the nutritional status of the patient. Now a days there is a significant amount of the diagnostic scales of the undernutrition. However, any scale does not satisfy completely the practical experience of the public health service in the prognosis of the development of the postsurgical complications and the necessity of the presurgical nutritive support of the patients with cancer of organs of a gastrointestinal tract. The problem of the nutritive support of the presurgical period as one of the preventive measure of the postsurgical complications is not covered in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Taking into consideration the topicality of the designated problem in our country, the aim of our research is to determine the role of the nutrition in the treatment of oncological patients.
