Abstract

A group of 71 patients with bronchial carcinomas are submitted to nutritional assessment in this trial. A 6-point valuation scan from Schmoz et al. for the nutritional assessment is used. Especially the results of protein assessment and the skin tests with 4 recall antigens are worked out. These results are compared with reference ranges. In the pathological values, both the protein assessment and the skin tests are classified in 3 interference degrees. In the following interpretation, the group of patients are subdivided in one group, which undergoes conservative therapy (26 patients) and a second one, which is treated operationally (45 patients). The results showed that more than half of the patients had disturbed nutrition indices, more than 2/3 showed disturbed protein status and more than 90% of the patients showed pathological results in the skin tests.
