Association between fatigue and sarcopenia in middle-aged Korean cancer survivors: A cross-sectional study
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | SMI | Shin et al. | 2020 | Korea | Research Square
… and fatigue in middle-aged Asian cancer survivors, and we found sarcopenia was associated
with severe fatigue, especially in male survivors and pre-menopausal female survivors. A
Japanese study, of which more than 75% of the subjects were female, found no relation between
muscle strength and fatigue in comparisons of cancer survivors and healthy participants [6]. A
cross- sectional study of Latin Americans including mainly elder people (mean age was 76 for
the sarcopenic … 2011;22(6):1273-9. 6. Morishita S, Tsubaki A, Fu JB, Mitobe Y, Onishi H, Tsuji …
Quantity and quality of muscle in patients recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer: a comparison with cancer-free controls
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | MM, PBF | Cruz-Fernández et al. | 2020 | Spain | Supportive Care in Cancer
This cross-sectional study compares the muscle mass, core strength and physical fragility of patients recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer (pRD-CRC) with those of healthy subjects and identifies variables to be considered when designing pre-treatment physical interventions for such patients. Body composition, anthropometric variables, the muscle architecture of the lumbopelvic region, physical fitness and frailty were assessed in 32 pRD-CRC and 29 healthy control subjects. The patients showed a reduction in muscle mass (F …
Combining the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and Objective Nutrition Assessment Parameters Better Pred
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | FFMI | Wang et al. | 2020 | China | Journal of Nutritional Oncology
Background Malnutrition is common in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, especially in elderly patients. The Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is a widely used tool developed to detect malnutrition. The aim of this study was to compare the value of the PG-SGA and objective nutrition assessment parameters, in order to identify a better predictive index for malnutrition in elderly patients with CRC. Methods A total of 131 elderly patients (age≥ 60 years) with CRC were included and were evaluated for their individual …
Body composition patterns and breast cancer risk in Chinese women with breast diseases: A latent class analysis
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | Body Composition | J Zhang et al. | 2019 | China | Journal of Advanced Nursing
Aims To identify unobserved body composition patterns among Chinese women with breast diseases using latent class analysis (LCA) and to examine the relationship between body composition patterns and breast cancer (BC) risk. Design A descriptive, cross‐sectional study. Methods Female patients (N= 1816) with breast diseases were included in the study from April 2016‐March 2017. Body composition measures were done by the bioelectrical impedance analysis. The LCA models were estimated using Mplus 8.1. Results Four latent …
The effect of nutrition intervention with oral nutritional supplements on pancreatic and bile duct cancer patients undergoing c
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | FFM, SMM, BFM, BCM | Kim et al. | 2019 | Korea | Nutrients
Chemotherapy may negatively affect nutritional status and quality of life (QOL) in pancreatic cancer patients. Our aim was to investigate the beneficial effects of oral nutrition supplements (ONS) on pancreatic and bile duct cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Among patients with progressive pancreatic and bile duct cancer receiving chemotherapy, the ONS group (n= 15) received two packs of ONS daily for 8 weeks while the non-ONS group (n= 19) did not. Anthropometric measures, dietary intake, nutritional status, and quality …
Effects of perioperative Eicosapentaenoic acid-enriched oral nutritional supplement on lean body mass after total gastrectomy f
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | BW, BMI, FFM | T Aoyama et al. | 2019 | Japan | Journal of Cancer
Background: In previous our phase III study to compare perioperative standard diet with or without Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)-enriched oral nutritional supplement (EPA-ON), additional EPA-ON did not contribute to prevent body weight loss after total gastrectomy. This report clarified whether EPA-ON could prevent loss of lean body mass (LBM) after total gastrectomy, a key secondary endpoint, in our phase III trial. Methods: This phase III study was designed as multicenter, open-label, superiority, randomized trial to confirm the …
Agreement and precision analyses of various estimated glomerular filtration rate formulae in cancer patients
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | MM, SLM, BFM, FFM | Chancharoenthana et al. | 2019 | Thailand | Scientific Reports
The accuracy of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in cancer patients is very important for dose adjustments of anti-malignancy drugs to reduce toxicities and enhance therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, the performance of eGFR equations, including their bias, precision, and accuracy, was explored in patients with varying stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) who needed anti-cancer drugs. The reference glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was assessed by the 99m Tc-diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (99m Tc-DTPA) plasma …
Bioelectrical impedance analysis for the assessment of sarcopenia in patients with cancer: a systematic review
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | SMM, SMI | F.P. Aleix et al. | 2019 | USA | The Oncologist
Background The loss of muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, is a natural process of aging that is associated with adverse health outcomes regardless of age. Because cancer is a disease of aging, interest in sarcopenia and its potential impact in multiple cancer populations has increased significantly. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a guideline‐accepted method for sarcopenia detection. This systematic review assesses the literature pertaining to BIA use in the detection of sarcopenia in adults with cancer. Materials …
