Objectives: This study was aimed to analyse the effect of a patient-oriented modality of physical exercise (programmed and directed physical exercise (PDPE)) on cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and quality of life (QoL). The secondary aim was to evaluate changes in body composition and skeletal muscle function during the study in patients with and without PDPE.
Methods: A prospective randomised study was conducted to analyse the impact of PDPE on CRF and QoL.
Purpose Of Review: To summarize current knowledge about nutritional aspects in the final stage of life, with emphasis on mechanisms and clinical diagnosis, ethical aspects and management.
Recent Findings: The most recent advances on the subject include new mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology, use of therapeutic approach combined with n-3 fatty acids and the active intervention of the patient in decision making.
Summary: The nutritional deterioration in a patient who passes the last stages of his life constitutes a subject area to varied analysis and considerations.
