Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate patients who are just starting or have started chemotherapy and also who are geriatric and nongeriatric, of sarcopenia and nutritional status. Materials and Methods: In this study, adult cancer patients who will receive chemotherapy for the first time were evaluated in terms of sarcopenia and nutritional status with patients between the 3rd month and 1st year of chemotherapy treatment. Patients were compared according to whether they were geriatric or not, and sarcopenic patients were also evaluated by classifying them according to cancer sides. The patients’ hand grip strength, bioelectrical impedance, appendicular skeletal muscle index (corrected for height), walking speed were measured and evaluated for sarcopenia. In addition, malnutrition risks, three-day food consumption records and laboratory parameters were examined. Results: A total of 123 adult patients were evaluated and 58 (47.2%) of the patients in the study were geriatric (65 years ≥). The risk of malnutrition was high in 39% of the patients and was found to be significantly higher in the geriatric group (46.6%) than in the non-geriatric group (32.3%) (p=0.029). The risk of malnutrition was found to be associated with the diagnosis groups of cancer. Compared to breast cancer, the risk of malnutrition was 18.2 times (p=0.002) higher in hepatobiliary cancers (including pancreas) and 7.6 times (p=0.018) in other cancers (head and neck, sarcoma, brain, stomach, peritoneum). Conclusion: Especially in geriatric patients, it is important to recognize and evaluate malnutrition caused by cancer at the beginning of treatment.

KANSER TANILI HASTALARIN KEMOTERAPİ ÖNCESİ VE SONRASI YAŞA GÖRE SARKOPENİ VE BESLENME DURUMUNUN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Öz

Amaç: Kemoterapiye yeni başlayacak veya başlamış olan, geriatrik olan ve olmayan hastalarda sarkopeninin ve beslenme durumunun değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, ilk kez kemoterapi alacak yetişkin kanser hastalar, kemoterapi tedavisinin 3.ayı ile 1.yılı arasında olan hastalarla sarkopeni yönünden ve beslenme durumları açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Hastaların geriatrik olup olmamasına göre karşılaştırılmış ve ayrıca sarkopenik olan hastalar kanser türlerine göre sınıflandırılarak da değerlendirilmiştir. Hastaların el kavrama kuvvetleri, biyoelektrik impedans ile apendiküler iskelet kas indeksi (boya göre düzeltilmiş), yürüme hızları ölçülmüş ve sarkopenik düzeyleri, malnütrisyon riskleri, üç günlük besin tüketim kayıtları ve laboratuvar parametreleri incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Toplamda 123 yetişkin hasta değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmadaki hastaların 58’i (%47,2’si) geriatriktir (65 yaş ≥) ve %39’unun malnütrisyon riski yüksektir. Geriatrik olan grupta (%46,6) olmayanlara göre (%32,3) anlamlı derecede malnütrisyon riski yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0,029). Malnütrisyon riski kanserin tanı gruplarıyla da ilişkili bulunmuştur. Meme kanserine göre, malnütrisyon riskinin hepatobiliyer kanserlerde (pankreas dahil) 18,2 kat (p=0,002) ve diğer kanserlerde (baş-boyun, sarkom, beyin, mide, periton) 7,6 kat (p=0,018) daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Özellikle geriatrik hastalarda, kanserin neden olduğu malnütrisyonun, tedavinin başlangıcında farkedilmesi ve değerledirilmesi önemlidir.
