Abstract
Purpose: In cancer patients, nutritional status is known to be associated with post-operative complications and prognoses after surgical treatments. The aim of this study was to examine the nutritional status of surgical cancer patients, to compare the nutritional status by cancer type, and to evaluate the indicators that can reflect nutritional status.
Materials and Methods: Between January and December 2010, 196 patients who had undergone surgical operations for surgical malignancy were enrolled. A nutritional assessment was conducted by the 1st and 2nd nutritional assessment tools. Types of cancer, body mass index (BMI), serum albumin, hemoglobin, and total lymphocyte count were analyzed.
Results: The patients’ mean age was 59.2±13.3 years, and 29.6% (n=58) of them were rated as having moderate malnutrition by the 1st nutritional assessment. A total of 18.9% (n=37) were overweight, and 3.6% (n=7) were obese. There was a relationship between the type of cancer and the BMI group (P=0.04).
Conclusion: Many surgical cancer patients are accompanied by excess body weight, and these patients should receive adequate nutritional assessments and support. (SMN 2011;2:59-63)
