Malnutrition in cancer patients continues after surgery and worsens the patient's overall health and quality of life. Previous studies reported edible insects in patients' diets increased postoperative muscle mass and weight gain. Therefore, by using nutritionally excellent mealworms for a long time, it is proved that nutritional status and survival rate are improved, leading to development of various products of edible insects.
