Abstract:
Introduction: The nutritional status has been related to breast cancer risk factors as well as to cancer treatment morbid mortality. Thus, its assessment is important for developing strategies for the promotion of nutritional status and breast cancer outcome. Material and Methods: Several different methods used for nutritional assessment in breast cancer patients undergoing therapy were used, including subjective global assessment (SGA), body mass index (BMI), and biochemical analysis (BA). The occurrence of complications during breast cancer treatment versus the nutritional status was assessed. Results: We followed 86 women with age range 18-76 years. Most patients were considered malnourished (65%). A good number of patients experienced complications during breast cancer treatment, and associated with nutritional status. Conclusion: In breast cancer women undergoing therapy, the prevalence of under nutrition was high. There were the effects of poor nutrition or undernutrition on clinical outcomes of breast cancer.

Abstract:
Background and context: Since 1982, cancer has been the leading cause of death in Taiwan, claiming more than 40,000 lives each year. This not only caused huge medical expenses, but also affected the quality of life of patients and their families. However, many cancer survivors and their caregivers do not fully understand lifestyle advice, including nutrition and dietary behaviors, to lower the progression of the disease. Due to cancer and painstaking treatment, cancer patients often suffer from inadequate calories intake and serious body weight (BW) loss, which is highly related to malnutrition or cancer cachexia. After they leave the hospital, they still need nutritional guidance; therefore, the importance of providing nutrition services in the community should be emphasized. Aim: To help cancer survivors achieve better nutritional status by teaching them how to have adequate calories intakes and maintain BW that they're supposed to have better quality of life. Strategy/Tactics: (1) Cancer survivors with nutritional needs were referred from 66 cooperative cancer resources centers of hospitals nationwide. (2) Dietitians assess their nutritional conditions and provide nutritional guidance. (3) Deliver free nutritional supplements to the cancer survivors who are financially disadvantaged or have dysphagia problems. Program/Policy process: The registered dietitians conducted nutritional education through nutrition counseling and guidance. For those who are financially disadvantaged or have dysphagia problems, the 24-hour dietary recall and PG-SGA scale were used to assess the survivors' nutritional status, including BW and calories intake, then free nutritional supplements according to their needs and a regular follow-up to collect their BW and nutritional information changes after our interventions were done. Outcomes: From 2016 to 2017, a total of 434 of cancer survivors who have financial difficulties or dysphagia problems accepted the free nutritional supplements and nutritional guidance services. 178 survivors completed follow-up and collected nutritional information. 40.4% of them are head and neck cancers, 38.2% are digestive system-related cancers that were in poor eating conditions. After our interventions, 70.2% of these survivors can maintain or increase their BW with average BW 57.9 ± 12.8 kg; and 77.0% can maintain or increase the calories intake, which average increased from 1798 ± 252.5 kcal/day to 1541.6 ± 347.9 kcal/day. What was learned: We can effectively help cancer survivors achieve adequate calories intakes and maintain BW to prevent the occurrence of malnutrition by providing the services of nutritional supplements and nutritional guidance.

Abstract:
Objective. Preoperative nutritional status of patients is closely associated with their recovery after the surgery. This study aims to ascertain the impact exerted by the nutritional risk screening on clinical outcome of patients with esophageal cancer. Methods. 160 patients with esophageal cancer aged over 60, having got therapy at the First Hospital of Jilin University from Jun 2016 to Feb 2017 were evaluated by adopting the NRS2002. 80 cases of patients got active therapy of nutritional support, and the other patients not supported nutritionally were selected as the control group. The comparison was drawn between two groups in serum albumin, serum immunoglobulin, postoperative complications, hospitalization, and hospitalization expenses. Results. For all the patients, in 3 and 7 days after the surgery, the serum albumin in the nutritionally supported group outstripped that in group without nutritional support (P<0.05) regardless of the nutritional risk. For the patients in the risk of nutrition, the IgA in the nutritionally supported group outstripped that of group without nutritional support (P<0.05) in 3 and 7 days before the surgery, and the serum IgG outstripped that of the group without nutritional support in 1 and 3 days before the surgery (P<0.05). In terms of the patients in the risk of nutrition, the average hospitalization of nutritionally supported group was shorter (P<0.05), and the average hospitalization expenses were lower compared with those of the group without nutritional support. And for the patients in no risk, the hospitalization expenses of supported group surmounted those of group without nutritional support (P<0.05), whereas the average hospitalization took on no statistic difference (P>0.05). Conclusion. For the patients in the risk of nutrition, preoperative nutritional support can facilitate the nutritional status and immunization-relative result after surgery, which shall also decrease the average hospitalization and hospitalization cost.

Abstract Background Preoperative nutritional status of patients is closely associated with their recovery after the surgery. This study aims to ascertain the impact exerted by the nutritional risk screening on clinical outcome of patients with esophageal cancer, to provide scientific determination of nutritional support for patients suffering from esophageal cancer. Methods 160 patients with esophageal cancer aged over 60, having got therapy at the First Hospital affiliated by Jilin University from Jun. 2016to Feb. 2017 were evaluated adopting the NRS2002. 80 cases of patients got active therapy of nutritional support, and the other patients not supported nutritionally were selected as the control group. The comparison was drawn between two groups in serum albumin, serum immunoglobulin, postoperative complications, hospitalization and hospitalization expenses. Experimental data were acquired through adopting t-test and χ2 test for statistical analysis. Results For all the patients, in 3 and7 days after the surgery, the serum albumin in the nutritionally supported group outstripped that in group without nutritional support (P < 0.05) regardless of the nutritional risk. For the patients in the risk of nutrition, the IgA in the nutritionally supported group outstripped that of group without nutritional support (P < 0.05) in 3 and 7 days before the surgery, and the serum IgG outstripped that of the group without nutritional support in 1 and 3 days before the surgery(P < 0.05). Two groups were not statistically different in the rate of postoperative complication (P > 0.05). In terms of the patients in the risk of nutrition, the average hospitalization of nutritionally supported group was shorter(P < 0.05), and the average hospitalization expenses were lower compared with those of the group without nutritional support. And for the patients in no risk, the hospitalization expenses of supported group surmounted those of group without nutritional support (P < 0.05), whereas the average hospitalization took on no statistic difference(P > 0.05). Conclusion For the patients in the risk of nutrition, preoperative nutritional support can facilitate the nutritional status and immunization-relative result after surgery, which shall also decrease the average hospitalization and hospitalization cost.

Abstract:
The scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is considered to be the most appropriate tool for detecting malnutrition in cancer patients. In particular, malignant tumours derived from the gastrointestinal tract may impair nutrient intake and absorption and cause malnutrition. We carried out a cross-sectional study to assess the nutritional status and related factors of patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Nutritional status was determined using the scored PG-SGA in patients (n 498) with advanced gastrointestinal cancer admitted to the Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology Unit at Beijing Cancer Hospital between 1 August 2012 and 28 February 2013. The possible related factors including age, sex, hospitalisation frequency and pathology were explored. We found that 98 % of the patients required nutrition intervention and 54 % of the patients required improved nutrition-related symptom management and/or urgent nutritional support (PG-SGA score ≥ 9). Factors related to malnutrition were age (r 0·103, P< 0·01), hospitalisation frequency (r − 0·196, P< 0·01) and sex (the prevalence of malnutrition was higher in men than in women (9·88 v. 8·54, P< 0·01)). Patients with rectal cancer had a lower risk of malnutrition than patients with other types of gastrointestinal cancer (F= 35·895, P< 0·01). More attention should be paid to the nutritional status of gastrointestinal patients, especially those at a higher risk of malnutrition, such as elderly patients, those hospitalised for the first time, male patients and those with other types of gastrointestinal cancer except rectal cancer. The nutritional status of these patients should be evaluated and they should be given proper nutrition education and nutritional support in a timely manner.

Abstract:
e15508 Background: The incidence of gastric cancer is much higher in China than in any other country. Although the overall survival rate of patients with gastric cancer has increased due to the advancements in multimodality management. However, significant morbidity, including loss of appetite, dysphagia, nausea, and vomiting is still associated with gastric cancer patients. These symptoms have a profound impact on nutritional status and quality of life in these patients. The primary objective of the present study was to assess the nutritional status and quality of life in gastric cancer patients. Methods: A preliminary assessment of patients’ nutritional status, quality of life, and medical characteristics was conducted using the Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life (QOL-C30, version 3) questionnaires. The PG-SGA is a clinical nutrition assessment tool used to evaluate oncology patients. The nutritional status of the patients fell into three groups by a score of PG-SGA-A, -B, and C. Results: A preliminary assessment of patients’ nutritional status, quality of life, and medical characteristics was conducted using the Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life (QOL-C30, version 3) questionnaires. The PG-SGA is a clinical nutrition assessment tool used to evaluate oncology patients. The nutritional status of the patients fell into three groups by a score of PG-SGA-A, -B, and C. Conclusions: These results suggest that the nutritional status of the patients with stomach cancer may impact on their QoL. It is necessary to develop nutritional intervention to improve QoL in gastric cancer patients.

Abstract:
Malnutrition is often seen at the point of diagnosis in childhood malignancy or may develop during the course of treatment. Strategies for optimal diagnosis and management of nutritional problems in children with cancer are limited in the published literature. Identification of children who may be malnourished or at nutritional risk can be achieved through improved approaches for risk stratification and classification. Once recognised, various strategies have been demonstrated to reduce malnutrition, minimise side effects of treatment and improve survival. Novel approaches in vivo and adult oncology populations provide future avenues for investigation.

Abstract:
Objective. To investigate the effect of dental status on nutritional status in oral cancer patients. Method. A prospective study design was initially conducted on a group of post-therapeutic oral cancer patients. However, the level of compliance was low, so to ensure fullest use of the data, analyses were performed assuming a cross-sectional study design. Nutritional, dental and clinical information were analyzed at two time periods: evaluation one was at 1-6 months, and evaluation two was at 7-12 months post-therapy. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between dental and nutritional status. Results. 44 subjects participated in evaluation one and 40 participated in evaluation two. Analyses showed that edentulism was a significant predictor for most nutritional indicators adjusting for age, gender, and C-reactive protein. Conclusion. Edentulous oral cancer patients demonstrated significantly poorer nutritional status than fully and partially dentate patients.

Abstract:
Oesophagogastric (OG) cancer patients are at risk of developing persistent gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and/or malnutrition. It is possible that GI symptoms co-exist with malnutrition rather than simply occurring in isolation. Eighty patients with OG cancer were recruited to a prospective observational cohort study to explore this relationship at the point of diagnosis and at 3- and 12 months post-diagnosis (Chapter 3). At 12 months, GI symptoms and malnutrition persisted or developed in 71.9% and 59.6% respectively. High symptom burden tended to be associated with poorer nutritional status and low symptom burden tended to be associated with better nutritional status at each time point. An effective nutritional screening tool is essential for detecting malnutrition in the OG oncology setting. A validation study of the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool against an accepted standard (Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment) was undertaken (Chapter 4). The screening tool had a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 74% and thus, is not suitable for use in this setting. Theoretically, as a consequence of the treatments received, patients with cancer are at high-risk for the development of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), a condition that implies abnormal bacterial colonisation of the proximal small bowel. The incidence of SIBO after diagnosis was measured in a sub-group of the OG cancer cohort (n= 17) and was found to be 82.4% (Chapter 3). There is no gold-standard test for SIBO and a new, accurate diagnostic tool would represent a major development. A cohort of 200 patients previously treated for cancer and undergoing testing for suspected SIBO were recruited (Chapter 5). The metabolic profile of their urine samples was assessed (using metabolomics technology) to establish whether any metabolite(s) could separate individuals with and without SIBO. N-acethylglutamine, a modified amino acid, showed some ability to separate the two groups.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturstudie som inkluderar 18 artiklar, har varit att belysa vilka nutritionsstöd som kan förebygga och behandla malnutrition hos barn med cancer samt vilka omvårdnadsbehov som finns i samband med nutritionsbehandling. Resultatet visade att barn med cancer som behandlas med strålning och/eller cytostatika ofta drabbas av olika biverkningar som påverkar nutritionen. Cirka 46 % av barnen utvecklade malnutrition. Näringsintaget försämrades ofta på grund av biverkningarna vilket fick till följd att behandlingen försämrades samt tillväxt och utveckling påverkades negativt. Olika sätt fanns för att upprätthålla gott nutritionsstatus. Oralt intag förordades för att upprätthålla mag- tarmkanalens struktur och funktion. Alternativ för kostbehandling när barnet inte klarade att inta oral kost var nasogastrisk sond (NS), Perkutan Endoskopisk Gastrostomi (PEG) och Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). NS visade sig vara relativt biverkningsfritt och ett alternativ att tillgå under kortare nutritionsbehandlingar. PEG var ett gott alternativ med relativt få biverkningar då barnet behöver nutritionsstöd under längre tid. TPN var ett alternativ enbart då barnet inte kunde äta relaterat till bristande upptag i mag- tarmkanalen. Försämrat näringsintag påverkade barnets livskvalitet. Familjen påverkades genom att ätandet var en stark källa till konflikt mellan barnet och föräldrarna. Det var viktigt att barnet och familjen fick stöd i barnets förmåga att kunna äta samt att erbjudas näringsrik kost. Bedömning av nutritionsstatus och dokumentation av oralt intag, parenteralt intag och effekter av nutritionsbehandlingen var av stor vikt för att kunna ge barnet optimal omvårdnad.

Abstract:
Background: Malnutrition is a major challenge for patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer and affects between 28% and 67% of women at some point in their cancer trajectory. It is strongly associated with poor health outcomes and decreased survival. Few studies have evaluated nutritional status in this population. The impact of nutritional intervention on outcomes such as body composition and survival is also not well understood. Characterising changes in nutritional status and understanding how women perceive a cancer diagnosis to affect their diet and nutritional needs is required. Aim: This study characterises nutritional status of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer during the period of acute first-line treatment. It also explores the perceptions of women regarding their nutrition and dietary needs and their preferences for supportive intervention. Methods: A mixed-method (quantitative/qualitative) study was conducted to prospectively assess nutritional status. 58 newly diagnosed women and 27 controls were recruited and anthropometric/body composition measures (weight, body fat, dry lean mass, lean mass total body water and extracellular water) and biochemical markers (prealbumin, albumin, C-reactive protein, CA125) assessed at baseline, during treatment and at the end of treatment. Women also completed a study specific questionnaire on their health and dietary intake as well as quality of life questionnaires. Data was analysed using SPSS. Two focus groups with 8 eight women were conducted and discussions centred on the importance of nutrition. The group sessions were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. Results: The findings are that some women (43%) are malnourished by the time they attend a cancer centre for investigation or treatment of ovarian their cancer. They have lost weight, have decreased lean mass and a low prealbumin. Their quality of life is also affected. Women in the study consider their diet and nutrition to be important and do not feel adequately supported by their clinical team. Nutritional support based on current practice does not seem to improve nutrition outcomes. Conclusion: Well-designed, targeted, randomised controlled trials with specific interventions aimed at early treatment and prevention of further nutritional complications in ovarian cancer patients are urgently required.

Abstract:
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient in the human diet. A unique property of vitamin D is that it can be produced by endogenous synthesis in the skin following sufficient Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. In fact, our understanding of this compound has changed, such that it is no longer consider a true vitamin, but rather a steroid hormone. De-identified data for this analysis were derived from women residing in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia who completed routine medical visits in the summer of 2009 at King Fahad Hospital (KFH). In Chapter 1,“THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN VITAMIN D STATUS IN NORMAL WEIGHT VERSUS OBESE WOMEN RESIDING IN WESTERN SAUDI ARABIA” we evaluate the relationship between body size and serum 25(OH)D concentrations including the association between change in body size during adulthood and vitamin D status. This study examines whether the current weight and weight change since age 18 years are associated with vitamin D status. This study found that neither current weight nor adult weight gain were associated with vitamin D status in Saudi Arabian women. In chapter 2,“IS AVOIDING SUN EXPOSURE VIA SUN PROTECTION PRACTICES ASSOCIATED WITH LOW VITAMIN D STATUS IN SAUDI ARABIAN WOMEN?” we investigate whether women who avoid UV exposure have lower 25(OH)D concentrations than women who do not avoid exposure. UV exposure was defined by time in outdoor activities, use of protective clothing and sunscreen. This study demonstrated that avoiding UV exposure via indoor activity and the use of sunscreen or/and wearing protective clothing was not associated with vitamin D status. Chapter 3, “VITAMIN D STATUS AND BREAST CANCER IN SAUDI ARABIAN WOMEN: A CASE CONTROL STUDY” we examine if vitamin D status as assessed by serum concentrations of 25(OH)D would be lower in breast cancer cases as compared to controls. This study demonstrated that there is a significant relationship between higher serum concentrations of 25(OH)D and lower risk of breast cancer. Chapter 4, “IMPLICATIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS” is presented a summary of key findings from the three studies in this dissertation to determine avenues of further research.

Abstract:
Investigating the link between nutritional status and surgical outcomes in patients with liver or pancreatic cancer: A pilot study The rise in the number of liver and pancreatic cancer patients in North America and around the world increases the need to better predict adverse outcomes after surgery. Because this patient population also presents with a higher rate of malnutrition which is known to increase the risks of morbidity and mortality, an effective, and validated, pre-operative nutritional assessment method is needed. This pilot study sought to evaluate the feasibility of various nutritional assessments in this patient population and to collect data on nutritional status in order to identify markers with which to develop future nutritional pre-habilitation programs that could positively impact postoperative outcomes. Results proved the feasibility and usefulness of the nutritional assessment in this patient population. However alleviating patient burden is key in facilitating subject recruitment and compliance. Most patients had a stable nutritional, however, the study also identified a subgroup of patients with worsening nutritional status while awaiting surgery; this group might be at an increased risk for postoperative adverse events. Further studies are needed to evaluate the absolute benefit of a preoperative nutritional rehabilitation program.
Enquête sur le lien entre l'état nutritionnel et les résultats postopératoires des patients atteints de cancer du foie ou du pancréas : une étude pilote La croissance du nombre de patients atteints de cancer du foie ou du pancréas en Amérique du Nord et à travers le monde nous force à trouver une meilleure façon de prédire les résultats postopératoires indésirables. Puisque ces patients sont aussi trop souvent atteints de malnutrition reconnue comme un facteur de risque de morbidité et de mortalité, une méthode précise et validée permettant une évaluation de l'état nutritionnel est nécessaire. La présente étude vise à évaluer la faisabilité des divers outils d'évaluation nutritionnelle et à obtenir des données de l'état nutritionnel de ces patients afin de cerner des marqueurs pouvant aider l'élaboration de programmes de préadaptation qui sauront avoir des effets favorables sur les résultats postopératoires. Les résultats confirment que l'évaluation nutritionnelle de ses patients est à la fois possible et utile. Toutefois, l'atténuation du fardeau du patient est essentielle aux fins de recrutement et d'adhésion. L'état nutritionnel de la majorité des patients était stable. Cependant l'état d'un sous-groupe de patient s'est empiré durant la période préopératoire ce qui pourrait aggraver les risques de résultats postopératoires indésirables. D'éventuelles enquêtes seront utiles afin d'évaluer les avantages définitifs d'un programme de réhabilitation nutritionnel préopératoire.

Abstract:
Conducted within the hospice setting, this unique study assessed the prevalence of altered taste perception and its potential relationship with nutritional status in a group of 56 advanced cancer patients who had not received any recent radiotherapy or chemotherapy, compared to 46 age matched healthy controls. An assessment was made of the impact of altered taste perception on quality of life in this group of cancer patients. Taste perception was objectively measured using the International standard for sensory appraisal (lSOI991) and nutritional status assessed using upper arm anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, weight and hand grip dynanometry. A 3-day weighed intake technique was used to estimate dietary intake, and quality of life assessment was based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (Zigmund and Snaith, 1983). Results indicate that cancer patients exhibited lower 'bitter' thresholds (increase bitter taste sensitivity) compared to age matched controls an effect which was not related to tumour type. Results of this study also highlight the impact that changes in taste perception have on quality of life, which is pivotal in the appropriate management of altered taste perception in palliative care. ',- \, Heightened olfactory perception was also evident in cancer patients exhibiting heightened gustatory perception. Biochemical analysis suggests that Tumour Necrosis Factor a and associated acute phase response may be associated with increased bitter taste sensitivity. Within the cancer group, heightened bitter perception was associated with a reduced protein intake. These results have demonstrated that in a terminally ill group, dietary management should focus on altered taste perception, aiming to maximise quality of life. Based on these results, a 4-week intervention was undertaken using omega 3 fatty acid (fish oil capsules) in a subsequent group of advanced cancer patients, aimed at manipulating the acute phase response and lNFa production. This demonstrated no changes in taste perception. However, the intervention was associated with attenuation of weight loss and an alteration in fatty acid composition of lipid membrane. These preliminary results suggest the value of further studies to investigate the effects of omega 3 fatty acids on taste perception and other associated symptoms in cancer patients. Moreover, the challenges to recruitment and retention of patient in studies in the terminally ill are highlighted.

O câncer é um importante problema de saúde pública mundial e, também, em países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil. Dentre os tipos mais frequentes entre as mulheres brasileiras, têm-se os cânceres de mama, de colo de útero e de ovário. Nesta pesquisa foram estudados aspectos relativos à alimentação e nutrição de mulheres acometidas por estes cânceres ginecológicos, com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da quimioterapia na evolução do estado nutricional destas mulheres considerando os sintomas gastrintestinais, o consumo alimentar e as alterações nos exames bioquímicos. Participaram do estudo 29 mulheres, sendo 22 acometidas pelo câncer de mama, 4 pelo câncer de ovário e 3 pelo o de colo de útero. Para tanto, no 1º, 3º e 5º ciclos de quimioterapia foram realizadas entrevistas nas quais as pacientes eram inquiridas sobre intolerâncias alimentares, sintomas gastrintestinais e aplicada a Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida Pelo Paciente (ASG-PPP).O consumo alimentar foi avaliado pelo recordatório do consumo de 24 horas, no dia que precedeu a quimioterapia e no dia do procedimento. No dia da quimioterapia foi realizada ainda a avaliação antropométrica. Os dados de exames bioquímicos e de protocolos de quimioterapia foram coletados dos prontuários. Como resultado se obteve que durante a quimioterapia, os sintomas mais frequentes foram: náusea, disgeusia, obstipação, anorexia, diarreia e mucosite. O consumo alimentar sofreu redução em relação à quantidade de energia e nutrientes ingeridos no período em que a paciente realizava a sessão quimioterápica em relação ao período que antecedia a esta. Houve pequena, mas significativa redução na média geral do peso corporal do primeiro para o terceiro ciclo de quimioterapia. No entanto, a maioria das mulheres com câncer de mama ganhou peso...
Cancer is an important public health problem worldwide, and also in developing countries like Brazil. Among the most frequent type affecting Brazilian women, there are cancers of breast, cervical and ovarian. This research studies the aspects related to feeding and nutrition of women affected by these gynecological cancers, with the goal to assess the effect of chemotherapy on the evolution of the nutritional status of these women considering gastrointestinal symptoms, food consumption and changes in biochemical tests. The study included 29 women, 22 affected by breast cancer, 4 by ovarian cancer, and 3 had cervical cancer. Interviews were conducted, on first, third and fifth chemotherapy protocols, in which patients were asked about food intolerance, gastrointestinal symptoms and applied Subjective Global Assessment Produced by the Patient. Dietary intake was assessed by recall of consumption of 24 hours on the day prior to chemotherapy and the day of the procedure. On the day of chemotherapy was also evaluation anthropometric. The data from biochemical and chemotherapy protocols were collected from medical records. As a result it was found that during chemotherapy, being the most common symptoms were: nausea, dysgeusia, constipation, anorexia, diarrhea and mucositis. Food consumption reduced in relation to the amount of energy and nutrients consumed in the period in which the patient was a chemotherapy session in relation to the period preceding this. There was a small but significant reduction in overall mean body weight from first to third cycle of chemotherapy. However, most women with breast cancer gained weight during the procedure. There was no association between frequency of symptoms with the anthropometric indicators, but rather with the consumption of macronutrients and erythrocytes. The ASG-PPP showed...
