Clinical parameters related to anorexia

W D DeWys, G Costa, R Henkin

    Cancer Treatment Reports

    Summary

    Many cancer patients struggle with adequate caloric intake, with over 70% consuming less than recommended levels. Symptoms affecting the mouth and digestive system may contribute to reduced food consumption in these individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Nutrition Science
    • Cancer Patient Care

    Background:

    • Cancer and its treatments can significantly impact a patient's nutritional status.
    • Understanding caloric intake is crucial for managing cancer patient health and recovery.
    • Altered food intake is a common challenge faced by individuals undergoing cancer therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the caloric intake of cancer patients in relation to their energy needs.
    • To identify potential factors contributing to reduced food consumption in cancer patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Dietary intake was evaluated using diet diaries recorded by 89 cancer patients.
    • Caloric intake was compared against calculated basal energy expenditure (BEE).

    Main Results:

    • 25% of cancer patients had caloric intake below their calculated basal energy expenditure (BEE).
    • An additional 45% of patients consumed between 1.0 and 1.5 times their BEE.
    • Patients reported symptoms related to the oronasal and gastrointestinal areas, suggesting these as potential causes for decreased eating.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant proportion of cancer patients exhibit insufficient caloric intake.
    • Oronasal and gastrointestinal symptoms may play a role in reduced food intake.
    • Dysregulation of food intake cues could be a factor in decreased caloric consumption among cancer patients.
