Scientific research on nutrition and natural approaches and resources in cancer. Studieabstracten study and analysis.

Here we list articles and studies or research on cancer in relation to nutrition. With some additional comments other as we found on the Internet. We will complement these articles regularly, but that takes time and we want very carefully. We have tried to research and articles in logical and more or less alphabetical order. Often an article in the name of nutrient - vitamin etc. But sometimes in diets or diet in cancer or cancer type out the first named, including bladder cancer and vitamins in the BA. So take the name of one nutrient or use search to start because of various cancers are also often important studies and articles that are not all in this list.

If there are people who can give us tips like please send us remarkable investigations and we post on the site.

When cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy in the pelvic area and associated bleeding from the bladder and pain in the pelvic area to have kept before being treated with hyaluronic acid, thereby reducing the symptoms significantly and equal treatment with hyperbaric oxygen. Hyaluronic acid is much easier to administer than hyperbaric oxygen. Moreover, the recovery that occurred by the hyaluronic acid longer than with hyperbaric oxygen. Both approaches gave no side effects. These are the results of a small but randomized study comprises 36 patients who suffered from chronic complications caused by radiation. The active ingredient N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is the main constituent of hyaluronic acid. Here is the abstract of this study. The full study report for an additional fee to see if you click here.

We reported our experience of intravesical hyaluronic acid (HA) and HBO in treating HC and the results seemed interesting. Intravesical HA's Easier to do and well tolerated, and it showed a sustained Decrease or bladder bleeding, pelvic pain and voiding frequency or for at least 12 months. We suggest it as an alternative way of treating potential and HC

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?

Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a rare bladder disease with a Relatively complex etiology. With the growing number of Patients with pelvic radiation therapy, incidence of this disease considerably HAS Risen. Although treatments like hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) had some benefit to Improve the symptoms, the optimal treatment of this disease, Still Remains a tough problem.

We reported our experience of intravesical hyaluronic acid (HA) and HBO in treating HC and the results seemed interesting. Intravesical HA's Easier to do and well tolerated, and it showed a sustained Decrease or bladder bleeding, pelvic pain and voiding frequency or for at least 12 months. We suggest it as an alternative way of treating potential and HC.

OBJECTIVE

  • •
    To compare the efficacy of intravesical hyaluronic acid (HA) instillation and Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) in the treatment of radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis (HC).

PATIENT AND METHODS

  • •
    Total of 36 patients who under went radiotherapy for pelvic malignancies and Their subsequently suffered from HC were randomly Divided write an HA group and an HBO group.
  • •
    Symptoms or haematuria, frequency of voiding and the visual analogue scale or pelvic pain (range 0-10) were Evaluated before and after the treatment with follow-up or 18 months.

RESULTS

  • •
    ALL patients completed this study and no obvious side effects of intravesical HA were recorded.
  • •
    The improvement rate showed no statistical difference Between the two groups at 6, 12 and 18 months after treatment.
  • •
    Decrease of frequency was significant in Both groups 6 months after treatment, but was only significant in the HA group 12 months after therapy.
  • •
    The improvement in the visual analogue scale remained significant in Both groups for 18 months.

CONCLUSIONS

  • •
    Intravesical instillation
