Estudo comparativo de indicadores nutricionais em pacientes com neoplasias do trato digestório

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃOO câncer tem sido considerado atualmente como um dos principais problemas de saúde pública em todo o mundo 17 . A alta mortalidade vem crescendo nos últimos anos em decorrência do envelhecimento populacional, do processo de industrialização e das modificações do estilo de vida. Alguns estudos têm mostrado que o diagnóstico de neoplasias surge geralmente após os 50 anos de idade, sendo que os tumores mais frequentes são os dos tratos gastrintestinal e respiratório, e os órgãos mais afetados são o inte… Show more

“…These patients are usually at some risk of malnutrition, are malnourished, or are losing weight. 16,32 When the nutrition indicators were descriptively analyzed for the entire studied population (mean and standard deviation, Table 1), nutrition status was not largely compromised but the same did not hold true for patients with neoplasms. When nutrition status was assessed separately by each studied criterion, 14.1% of the patients were underweight or malnourished and those with neoplasms were at greater risk of malnourishment.…”

“…Some studies have shown that the most frequent tumors are those of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, with the most affected organs being the small intestine, fecal appendix, and rectum [3]. According to Hallay (2002) [4], there is evidence available on the role of immunonutrition in the treatment of cancer patients.…”

“…Energy-protein malnutrition in cancer patients presents itself as a physical constitution disorder given the absence of homeostasis between nutrient intake and requirements, impairing body functions and promoting biochemical changes and weight loss (8) . Wasting is not unusual (19) and is characterized by loss of weight and lean mass accompanied by changes in energy-protein intake, dysphagia, odynophagia, xerostomia, dysgeusia, intestinal obstipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, early satiety, functional impairment and also systemic metabolic changes (3,5,10,25) . Wasting has led to the search of methodologies that assess nutritional status and provide early detection of patients at risk of malnutrition (16,24) .…”
