BACKGROUND The changes in lipid profile have long been associated with cancer because lipids play a key role in maintenance of cell integrity. OBJECTIVE The present study evaluated alterations in plasma lipid profile in untreated head and neck cancer patients as well as patients with oral

Nutritional support and intervention is an integral component of head and neck cancer management. Patients can be malnourished at presentation, and the majority of patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancer will need nutritional support. This paper summarises aspects of nutritional

OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective study was to determine the prevalence of malnutrition and to evaluate a more sensitive marker to assess the nutritional status in patients undergoing RT for head and neck cancer. METHODS The prospective study included 51 (mean age of 57.6 ±11.2 years) patients

BACKGROUND Oral cancer is associated initially by the presence of pre-malignant lesions or pre-malignant conditions.

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetic patients may need enteral nutrition support as part of their treatment. The objective was to compare glycemic and lipid control in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes requiring feeding via nasogastric tube using enteral feedings with either a highcarbohydrate or a

BACKGROUND Lipids are the major cell membrane components essential for various biological functions including cell growth and division for the maintenance of cell integrity of normal and malignant tissues. The changes in lipid profile have long been associated with cancer. Hypocholesterolemia has

We have found that a ketogenic diet (KD) during the course of radiotherapy (RT) was feasible and led to a preservation or favorable changes of body composition. Based on these observations and theoretical considerations, we initiated a study to investigate the impact of a KD or a ketogenic breakfast
