Cancers, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(18), P. 4502 - 4502

Published: Sept. 10, 2023

Background: This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current prehabilitation and rehabilitation strategies for thyroid cancer survivors optimize functional outcomes enhance their quality life. Methods: The follows SANRA criteria includes an extensive literature search conducted in PubMed/Medline, Web Science, Scopus. Results: emphasizes role approach targeting different domains that generate disability patients. In this context, physical activity, range motion exercises, myofascial release, joint mobilization, postural exercises are crucial improving reducing treatment-related discomfort disability. Moreover, tailored rehabilitative management addressing dysphonia dysphagia might have positive impact on life these Despite considerations, several barriers still affect implementation multimodal common clinical practice. Thus, sustainable effective like digital innovation patient-centered approaches strongly needed order implement treatment framework subjects. Conclusions: provides valuable insights into treat survivors, physical, psychological, vocational needs

Nutritional Deficiencies in Radiotherapy-Treated Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Journal of Clinical Medicine, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10(4), P. 574 - 574

Published: Feb. 3, 2021

Nutritional deficiencies (malnutrition, cachexia, sarcopenia, and unfavorable changes in the body composition) developing as a side effect of radiotherapy (RT) currently represents significant but still inaccurately studied clinical problem cancer patients. The incidence malnutrition observed head neck (HNC) patients oncological radiology departments can reach 80%. presence malnutrition, cachexia is associated with an prognosis disease, higher mortality, deterioration quality life. Therefore, it necessary to identify high risk both metabolic syndromes. However, number studies investigating potential predictive markers for mentioned purposes significantly limited. This literature review summarizes nutritional HNC prior therapy after commencement RT, presents recent perspectives prediction result applied RT.

Nutritional interventions in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia undergoing antineoplastic treatment: a systematic review

BMC Nutrition, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(1)

Published: June 19, 2024

Abstract Background A compromised nutritional status jeopardizes a positive prognosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. In low- and middle-income countries, ~ 50% of children with ALL are malnourished at diagnosis time, undergoing antineoplastic treatment increases the risk depleting their nutrient stores. Nutrition interventions implemented patients cancer related malnutrition. We aimed to evaluate effect nutrition diagnosed under treatment. Methods Using predefined protocol, we searched for published or unpublished randomized controlled trials in: Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, SciELO, conducted complementary searches. Studies where least participants had an ≤ 18 years, active treatment, intervention were included. Study selection data extraction independently by three reviewers, assessment bias two reviewers.

Feasibility of a supervised and home‐based tailored exercise intervention in head and neck cancer patients during chemoradiotherapy

European Journal of Cancer Care, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 31(6)

Published: Aug. 11, 2022

Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) is associated with high toxicity that adversely affects physical functioning, body composition, fatigue, quality of life treatment outcomes. Exercise interventions during might counteract these negative effects. We therefore assessed the feasibility an exercise programme HNC patients CRT.Forty were offered a tailored 10-week endurance resistance training supervised home-based sessions. Feasibility endpoints (1) adherence (main outcome): ≥60% attendance; (2) recruitment: ≥30%; (3) retention rate: ≥85% (4) compliance ≥60%. Physical performance, muscle strength, fatigue pre- post-intervention.Overall was 54%. The recruitment rate 36%, 65%. Compliance to intervention protocol 66%. Statistically significant decreases found in mean grip fat-free mass clinically relevant deteriorations on several domains life, subscales found.We conclude this CRT its current form feasible only minority patients. suggest adaptations improve rates definitive multicentre trial.This study registered at Netherlands Trial Register (NTR7305), 6 June 2018, retrospectively registered.
