Background: Chemotherapy is highly recommended for cancer treatment, however can cause some side effects such as nausea and vomiting. This will affect food intake and nutritional status in cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy. Aim: To describe nutritional status based on anthropometry Body Mass Index (BMI), hemoglobin (Hb), Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in RSUP. Dr. Wahidin sudirohusodo Makassar. Methode: This experiment uses a quantitative non-experimental research method with cross sectional approach on 1010 patients, nonprobability sampling with purposive sampling technique on 70 respondents, data collection with interview and observation techniques. Results: Nutritional status based on Body Mass Index (BMI) shows that 39 people (55.7%) had normal BMI values. About 37 people (52.9%) had good / normal nutritional status based on Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA)  while Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) reveals 100% of respondents experienced nutritional status problems. Conclusion: Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is the best tool to identify nutritional status of cancer patients that undergo chemotherapy since this instrument is very sensitive and practical. Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is good to assess nutritional status in subject who have lost weight drastically and shows signs of subcutaneous fat loss and muscle mass loss. Keyword: Cancer, chemotherapy, body mass index (BMI), Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA).

Aim: Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) are used to evaluate patients’ nutritional status. Materials & methods: The data of 114 gastric cancer patients with pyloric obstruction treated between July 2016 and July 2017 were assessed retrospectively. Results: Based on clinical evaluation, 70.1% had malnutrition, with 61.4% at nutritional risk by NRS2002 and 66.7% by PG-SGA. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.858 for PG-SGA and 0.706 for NRS2002. Sensitivity and specificity were 89 and 85% for PG-SGA and 78 and 76% for NRS2002. In both assessments, patients at risk showed more postoperative complications. Conclusion: PG-SGA was more suitable for evaluating the preoperative nutritional status of gastric cancer patients with pyloric obstruction, with higher diagnostic efficacy.

Background: Cancer is the second cause of disease-related deaths worldwide. Malnutrition among cancer patients is very common, with an estimated incidence of approximately 40 to 80%. While it is already a proven fact that malnutrition is prevalent among cancer patients, its impact on the quality of life of patients has not been adequately studied, particularly in the local setting. Purpose: To assess quality of life, nutrition status and to determine the affects of nutrition status on quality of life of cancer patients treated chemotherapy at Oncology Department, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Methods: A cross sectional study with 70 cancer patients admitted for chemotherapy recruited from at oncology department, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital during March to September 2018. The EORTC QLQ-C30 were used to assess quality of life and Subjective Global Assessment scale were used to assess nutrition status. T-test, ANOVA, Mann Whitney, Kruskal Wallis were used to determine the correlation between 2 factors. Pearson and Spearman Coefficient were used to measure the strength of relationship between the factors. Results: Patient’s mean age was 58.93 ± 13.26, males were 61.3%. There were 67.14% patients with SGA A, 14.29% were classified SGA-B (moderately malnourished) and 18.57% were classified SGA C (severely malnourished). The global health scale, the functional scales were in the limit of the EORTC reference value, meanwhile the toxicities -related symptom scales were worse than the EORTC reference value. Patients were statistically different across the Subjective Global Assessment groups according to emotional (p < 0.05), and cognitive functioning (p < 0.05) nausea and vomiting (p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study showed that there were the effects of nutrition status on quality of life in patients treated chemotherapy. Key words: Quality of life, nutritional status, cancer, chemotherapy
