Abstract：Malnutrition is a common complication in patients with malignant tumors, which affects the clinical outcome of cancer patients. Accurate identification of malnutrition is the premise of nutritional intervention and treatment, but uniform diagnostic criteria for malnutrition are currently lacking. With the official release of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) initiated by global nutrition experts in 2018, a large cohort of studies have been carried out. In this article, the specific content and controversies of the GLIM criteria, its accuracy validation and clinical predictive value in patients with malignant tumors were mainly reviewed, aiming to provide reference for subsequent research and clinical application of malignant tumor-related malnutrition.
