Objectives High-protein parenteral nutrition (PN) has been developed to counteract muscle loss in patients with cancer treated with PN. Nevertheless, it is not clear if high-protein PN is as safe as standard PN in patients with palliative cancer. Our primary aim was to compare the proportion ...
Cancer immunotherapies such as bispecific T-cell engagers have seen limited adoption in prostate cancer (PC), possibly due to differing levels of cancer receptor expression and effector T-cell infiltration between patients and inherent defects in T-cell engager design. Methods CD8+ T-cell infiltration...
Fish is loaded with protein and almost always low in fat. Even the fish that have more fat, such assalmonand tuna, are good choices. Those fish generally have omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for yourheart. Most people don't get enough omega-3s. ...
In recent years, the 5-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer has increased from 5 to 10% thanks to the use of comprehensive oncology treatments, but the improvement in the survival rate for pancreatic cancer patients has not been significant4. Currently, radical surgical resection is still ...
Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine whether nutritional support with high protein (ONS) in adult oncologic patients in the first step of cancer cachexia—asymptomatic precachexia, has an influence on the toxicity of systemic therapy. However, secondary endpoints were established: to ...
patients however is complicated, as it would involve denying patients standard of care. For this reason, future applications of high-dose VitC as cancer therapy may rather be in combination strategies and we will focus more on this application in the sections below. However, important lessons ...

There are many reasons (causes) for anemia. What causes low hemoglobin levels? Some of the more common causes of anemia include: Loss of blood (traumatic injury, surgery, bleeding, colon cancer, or stomach ulcer) Nutritional deficiency (iron, vitamin B12, folate) Bone marrow problems (...
If carcinogenesis occurs by somatic evolution, then common components of the cancer phenotype result from active selection and must, therefore, confer a significant growth advantage. A near-universal property of primary and metastatic cancers is upregula
Most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage making palliative chemotherapy the only option1. Gemcitabine-cisplatin combination is the standard first-line treatment for advanced biliary tract cancer with no standard second-line therapy2,3. Several anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/...
