Translation, cultural adaptation, and assessment of the linguistic and content validity of the PG-SGA to the Spanish linguistic setting by cancer patients and healthcare professionals.

Purpose: Malnutrition is frequent in hospitalized patients and is related to functional decline and poorer clinical outcomes. The Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is a globally implemented malnutrition tool. We aimed to perform a linguistic and content validation of the translation and cultural adaptation of the PG-SGA for the Spanish language setting.

[Obesity and risk of relapse in patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A retrospective study].

Background: Obesity has been associated with a low-grade proinflammatory state, and it has been related to the development of cancer in general, including hematologic cancer.

Aim: The present work aimed to identify the association of the diagnosis of obesity according to the body mass index (BMI) with prognostic factors of adult patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).

Patients And Method: This observational, retrospective study included hospitalized patients diagnosed with ALL of the B-cell lineages.

Resting energy expenditure changes after antineoplastic treatment in gynecological cancer: a prospective pilot study.

Introduction: energy metabolism in cancer patients is influenced by different factors. However, the effect of antineoplastic treatment is not clear, especially in women. Objective: to evaluate resting energy expenditure (REE) by indirect calorimetry (IC) before (T0) and after (T1) first cycle period of antineoplastic therapy: radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy (CT), and concomitant chemoradiation therapy (CRT), quality of life (QoL) and accuracy of REE were compared with international guidelines recommendations per kilogram (European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism [ESPEN]).

Cancer Cachexia Affects Patients with Head and Neck Cancer in All Stages of Disease: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study.

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of cancer cachexia according to the clinical stage and determine differences in body composition, usual energy intake, and pro-inflammatory profile between cachectic and non-cachectic patients newly diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). A cross-sectional study was conducted in adult patients diagnosed with HNSCC admitted to the oncology unit before starting cancer treatment. Cancer cachexia was assessed according to Fearon criteria, and patients were divided into two groups: cachectic and non-cachectic patients.

[Prevalence of nutritional risk evaluated with NRS-2002 in Mexican oncology population].

Objective: Hospitalized patients have high risk of malnutrition, specially those with cancer. There are some screening tools that lead to the detection of malnutrition in hospitalized patients, as Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), which we used in Mexican population with cancer at the moment of hospital admission to determine the prevalence of malnutrition risk, and to determine as well as the best predictive item to measuring nutritional risk in our population.

Methodology: Nutritional status in cancer patients with NRS 2002 during hospital admission was assessed.

Nutritional status and body composition are already affected before oncology treatment in ovarian cancer.

Poor nutritional status is a common problem among ovarian cancer patients. In order to detect changes in nutritional status and body composition this study investigates anthropometrical and biochemical parameters among these patients. This study included women with ovarian cancer and woman without cancer.

Antioxidant supplementation has a positive effect on oxidative stress and hematological toxicity during oncology treatment in cervical cancer patients.

Background And Aim: Hematological toxicity and oxidative stress are common in cancer patients. Antioxidant supplementation has been shown to decrease oxidative stress, but there is still controversy on this topic. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of antioxidant supplementation on oxidative stress, hematological toxicity, and quality of life (QoL) in cervical cancer patients.
