Abstract

Assess the influence of chemoradiotherapy on the nutritional status, functional capacity and quality of life (QoL), associating these indicators at baseline with toxicity and interruption of oncologic treatment in women with cervical cancer. Prospective cohort study performed on 49 women diagnosed with cervical cancer, who underwent treatment between August 2015 and January 2016. For data collection, two appointments were conducted by the lead researcher: the first occurred the day before the first chemotherapy session (T0) and the other at the end of chemotherapy session (T1). Nutritional status was measured by anthropometry (weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference and triceps skinfold thickness) and computed tomography (skeletal muscle index-SMI), functional capacity by handgrip strength (HGS) and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), and application of QoL questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). The average age was 45 ± 13.8 years and 81.6% of the women were diagnosed in stages II and III. There was significant reduction in HGS, KPS and QoL between T0 and T1, in addition to a significant QoL reduction according to worsening nutritional status. The interruption of chemotherapy was significantly associated with the variables of nutri...Continue Reading

Cachexia & Brown Fat

Cachexia is a condition associated with progressive weight loss due to severe illness. In cancer patients, it is proposed to occur as a result of tumor-induced energy wasting. Several proteins have been implicated in browning and depletion of white adipose tissue. Here is the latest research on cachexia and brown fat.

Cardiac Cachexia

Cardiac cachexia is a syndrome associated with the progressive loss of muscle and fat mass. It most commonly affects patients with heart failure and can significantly decrease the quality of life and survival in these patients. Here is the latest research on cardiac cachexia.
