Conditioning Therapy

Introduction. Today, the problem of nutritional deficiency (ND) in children undergoing conditioning therapy and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains relevant. The main goal for success is the interaction of doctors of various specialties, nurses and clinical psychologists. In the treatment process, a nurse occupies one of the key places; the process of passing nutritional support and returning to normal nutritional status depend on her knowledge, qualifications and skills. Materials and methods. Thirty-eight immunocompromised patients were included in the study (patients of the HSCT unit who received conditioning therapy). According to nutritional status: in 18 patients, ND was noted on day –1 before HSCT, in 10 patients, ND was noted on + 5–7th days after HSCT, and in 10 children, normal nutritional status remained. In terms of the incidence of adverse complications of chemotherapy (CT): nausea, vomiting, mucositis, and diarrhea were noted mainly in the age group up to 3 years; the presence of pain is more pronounced in children from 3 to 10 years; A change in the taste of the food intake was more present in the age group from 10 to 18 years. Results. The majority of patients (75 %) who received conditioning therapy and after HSCT had ND. Between the day +1 and + 7th day, mixed nutritional support was assigned after the HSCT. With the development of complications after chemotherapy, recommendations and measures were developed to reduce the effects of the treatment. Findings. Due to screening for ND and a multidisciplinary approach, nutritional support is a necessary component when conducting various types of antitumor treatment, which in turn improves the results of treatment and the quality of life of patients. On the part of the nursing staff, recommendations on the management of patients with ND and direct training of their legal representatives were actively applied.

Cachexia Syndrome

The article deals with the importance of nutritional support for cancer patients. The high frequency of malnutrition and impaired absorption of macro and micronutrients in cancer patients and, which, at its maximum, is anorexia-cachexia syndrome, is the direct cause of the patient’s death. The progression of the tumor process is always accompanied by a violation of nutritional status, which is manifested in changes in weight, weakness, decreased physical activity, and disorders of the digestive system. It is estimated that about half of cancer-related deaths can be prevented, many of which are due to diet and lifestyle. Dietary factors can be involved in the initiation of tumor growth (carcinogens), promote growth, or have protective activity against the development of cancer. Therefore, nutritional support is one of the important components of a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of cancer. Based on the analysis of the literature, the main tasks of nutritional support, indications, methods and criteria for the effectiveness of therapeutic nutrition are determined for the practitioner, a brief overview of the diets that are used by cancer patients is presented, and a list of anticarcinogenic products is compiled. Key words: anticarcinogenic products, diet, nutritional support, cancer patient, cancer prevention, nutrition.
