Hung et al2737 patients undergoing autologous transplantation are recruited (lymphoma 17 [45.9], MM 20 [54.1])n=16/18 Mean age: 57.5±9.8 Male= 10 (55.6)n=17/18 Mean age: 59.9±9.2 Male= 10(52.6)All patients received best practice nutrition care. Nutrition care included: an initial nutrition assessment and counselling- There is an increase in protein consumption in home-based nutrition and exercise program comparing to UC but not Significant - IG improved in cognitive and social functioning in comparing to UC.
