Nutritional status of patients with oral and maxillofacial malignancies

A study on management of oral cancer in a tertiary care hospital

“…This was similar in contrast to study by, insufficient calorie intake leading to malnutrition and loss of weight in patients with oral cancer. [23][24][25][26] The NSAIDS/ opioids was prescribed to many patients, who complained of different types of pain (79%) like tongue pain, mouth pain, pain when swallowing, pain in the palate, burning mouth, gingival pain and pain when chewing. Therefore to relieve pain, systemic drugs (12.76%) like tramadol, paracetamol, aspirin and severe pain morphine was prescribed in our study.…”

Oral Cancer Malnutrition Impacts Weight and Quality of Life

“…Documentation and checking of weight loss need to be improved so as to reduce serious consequences for patients. In this respect not only the doctor’s point of view is important but also the patient’s opinion [ 2 , 3 , 6 , 10 , 17 , 21 , 36 , 42 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

Nutritional assessment of patients with head and neck cancer in North-East India and dietary intervention

“…[ 1 ] Studies have shown that the incidence of malnutrition in cancer patients, range from 40 to 80%,[ 10 ] most frequently seen in GI or head and neck area[ 11 ], which is mainly of protein-calorie deficiency. [ 12 ] Another study also reported that non-hematological cancer presented with higher malnutrition than hematological disease. [ 13 ] Numereous studies have indicated that the prevalence of malnutrition is highest in HNCA patients with 25–50% at presentation.…”
