The results of the study of actual nutrition of children with cancer at the stage of intensive chemotherapy

Nutrition status (NS) disturbance registered at majority of patients receiving treatment on malignancies due to both malignant substrate and specific treatment. Due to this situation a question on actual nutrition of this patients group remains actual. This work presents analysis of actual nutrition status of children with solid non-CNS and CNS tumors on the stage of intensive chemotherapy. Significant decreasing of protein and energy income with consumed ration was revealed. This situation can be a risk-factor of severe nutrition status disturbance. NC dynamics during our study showed that correction with the help of natural products is less-effective at children with malignancies. Received results showed the reasonability of preventive nutritive support for these patients.
