Individualization of Nutritive Sensory Support Of Radiation Therapy

March 23, 2023 updated by: Gevorkov Artem R, National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of Russia

Individual Nutritional Support With High Protein Formula With Modified Sensory Component for H&N Cancer Patients on Chemo and Radiotherapy

Nutritional deficiency and subsequent weight loss in patients with head and neck cancer is a common problem and a negative predictor of treatment outcomes and mortality, as well as quality of life. Nutritional support for patients is a prerequisite for the successful management of cancer patients. Sensory changes can be side effects of chemotherapy or ionizing radiation, which damages sensory receptors in the area of radiation, disrupts the function of the salivary glands, leading to hyposalivation and a decrease in taste. Individual choice of nutrition based on sensory sensations can significantly improve the quality of life of patients and ensure timely correction of their eating behavior.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
