Produktbeschreibung
Breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy often
present with lowered serum albumin concentrations,
which results in treatment delays. The delay in
chemotherapy treatment has financial, medical and
emotional consequences on the patients, as well as
patient s families. The objective of this study was
to determine the effect of an optimal energy
increased protein dietary treatment on serum albumin
concentrations, anthropometrical status and quality
of life of second line breast cancer patients
receiving chemotherapy. A clinical trial, with only
female breast cancer patients was conducted.
Baseline and three-weekly visits involved
determining serum albumin concentrations, several
anthropometrical assessments, and the completion of
a quality of life questionnaire for a period of 3
months. The information and results should help
clinicians in their daily decision making in the
nutritional management of breast cancer patients,
and be useful for professionals in the field of
cancer and nutrition.
