PROPER-PRehabilitatiOn Plus Enhanced Recovery after surgery versus enhanced recovery after surgery in gynecologic oncology: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Prehabilitation is a process that occurs before surgery and aims to improve patient functional capacity and enhance surgical recovery. This process includes medical, nutritional, physical, and psychological interventions that may reduce the duration of hospital stay and provide postoperative physical benefits.

Primary Objective: To evaluate the impact of a prehabilitation program on postoperative recovery time for patients who will undergo gynecological surgery following the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines.

Brazilian Nutritional Consensus in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Adults.

The nutritional status of patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplant is considered an independent risk factor, which may influence on quality of life and tolerance to the proposed treatment. The impairment of nutritional status during hematopoietic stem cell transplant occurs mainly due to the adverse effects resulting from conditioning to which the patient is subjected. Therefore, adequate nutritional evaluation and follow-up during hematopoietic stem cell transplant are essential.

Appetite Assessment of Hospitalized Cancer Patients in Brazil - A Validation Study.

Objectives: Appetite loss, a common symptom in cancer patients, contributes to worsened nutritional status. A validated specific tool to assess appetite is clinically useful for diagnosing and identifying symptoms and signs that could be reversed with nutritional and pharmacological therapies. The aim of this study is to produce a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Hill and Blundell visual analog scale (VAS) for appetite and investigate its validity among hospitalized cancer patients.

Quality control of enteral nutrition therapy in cancer patients at nutritional risk.

Introduction: Quality indicators in nutritional therapy (QINTs) allow for the practical assessment of quality in the management of enteral nutrition therapy (ENT) among hospitalized patients.

Objective: To control ENT quality in cancer patients at nutritional risk.

Methods: A prospective, observational study was performed with cancer patients over 19 years of age who had undergone exclusive ENT for at least 72 h.
