Akciğer Kanserli Erişkin Bir Olguda Nutrisyonel Uygulamalar

Akciğer kanseri genellikle semptom vermeden ileri evrede tanındığı için hastalıklar içerisinde talihsiz seyre sahip olanlardandır. Tedavi seçenekleri arasında cerrahi, kemoterapi, radyoterapi veya bunların birlikte kullanımı yer alır. Uygulanan medikal tedavi hastaların oral yoldan aldıkları besin miktarını dramatik bir şekilde azaltabilir. İstemsiz ağırlık kaybı, ileri evre kanserde erken ölümün bağımsız bir göstergesidir ve kötü sağlık belirtecidir. Tıbbi beslenme tedavisine sıklıkla kanser tedavisinin yol açtığı bulantı, kusma, erken doygunluk hissi, ağız kuruluğu, tat alamama, ishal ve kabızlık gibi yan etkiler nedeniyle gereksinim duyulur. Bu yazıda akciğer kanserli bir olguda kemoterapi sürecinde yaşanan semptomlar ve beslenme stratejileri kaynaklar eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.

Nutritional Practices in a Case with Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is an unfortunate disease particularly in that it is often diagnosed in advanced stage with no prior symptoms. Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of these. Patients’ oral food consumption decreases dramatically because of medical treatment. Unintentional weight loss is recognized as an independent predictor of poor health and earlier death in advanced cancer. Medical nutrition therapy is often required for nutrition-related side effects of cancer treatment, which included nausea, vomiting, early satiety, xerostomia, dysgeusia, diarrhea, and constipation. In this case report we discussed via a case experienced symptoms and nutritional strategies in chemotherapy period.
