Abstract:
Malnutrition, in patients diagnosed with cancer and
partially gastrectomized, increases morbidity and
mortality. It could work also as a prognostic factor of the
disease. A lot of patients (15-40%) with gastric tumor suffer
from malnutrition and it can increase to 80-90% in advanced
stages. In addition, in patients diagnosed with cancer and
partially gastrectomized, gastrectomy causes a nutritional
deficit too.
Due to the previously mentioned aspects, the main objective
of the Nutritional Intervention Protocol (NIP) is to stablish
the nutritional treatment in the patients mentioned. The
procedures established in the NIP have to be carried out by
nutritionists, being the following: blood samples analysis,
anthropometric parameters, dietary survey, diagnosis,
planning, execution and nutritional treatment monitoring.
Prior NIP’s writing, a review of the literature from 2010 to
2018 was carried out. The studies and guidelines consulted
were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Nowadays, no similar protocols exist. Only guidelines have
been found in which it is recommended that patients should
control their diet in order to improve their symptoms. But
these guides do not explain how is the intervention. That is
why our protocol is important. This protocol also integrates
knowledge related to nutritional evaluation and treatment in
gastric tumors. So it allows the professional to carry out an
adequate nutritional treatment in this very specific type of
patient. Finally, it should be noted, that not only the protocol
is important but also nutritionists’work (in a multidisciplinary
team) to address diseases that can be modified through
nutrition.
