Nutrition in children with cancer
Özet
Malnutrition is a common event in children with cancer. Both cancer and its therapies contribute to malnutrition in different proportion. Malnutrition predisposes the child to increased morbidity, poorer outcome and reduction in quality of life. To prevent and/or treat malnutrition, children with cancer need to be evaluated their nutritional status and need to be supported nutritionally. © The Journal of Current Pediatrics, published by Galenos Publishing.
