Article Synopsis
- Radiation enteritis is a common complication during radiotherapy for cervical cancer, leading to issues like malnutrition that can affect treatment outcomes and increase side effects.
- The study analyzed 50 cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, focusing on their nutritional risk, muscle loss, and lipid metabolism during treatment.
- Results showed a significant increase in nutritional deficits among the patients, with many experiencing acute intestinal symptoms and correlations between weight changes and body fat levels.
Background: Radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) is the most common toxicity associated with radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Patients with RIOM become malnourished, which can affect the delivery and dose of radiotherapy. The value of personalizing nutrition recommendations for cancer prevention and management is increasingly recognized.

Design Methods: In the intervention group (n = 77), a model for the continuous quality improvement of efforts at nutrition management was implemented. These efforts included the development of a new process for nutrition management, a system to provide nutritional support and the use of targeted intervention plans to improve nutrition.
Objective: The aim of the study was to understand the experience of negative emotions and coping styles of patients with cervical cancer during the rehabilitation period.
Methods: A descriptive qualitative research method was used. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants.
