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. (See also reading list ( This list compiled by physician-biologist Erik Valstar has exceeded 1500 and are all randomized trials) and cancer rates ). In addition, a recommendation to information on proven effects of diet and nutritional supplementation in cancer of the book: Nutritional intervention in cancer, a signal to the conventional oncology. Because physician-biologist Dr Engelbert Valstar. The book costs 16.95 and the ISBN number is 90 5860 192 7.
TPN - Total Parental Nutrition = extra power through the bloodstream towards EN - Enteral Nutrition = oral supplemental power: TPN with glucose / fat based on 50/50 or 80/20 distribution has proved worse than normal oral supplementation (S) as a supplement to operated and seriously ill and debilitated patients. This evidence again two recent randomized trials. TPN and EN with much glucose / fat seems pointless. Article updated August 13, 2013
October 20, 2005: Source: Critical Care Med. 2005 Oct; 31 (10) :1394-400.When seriously ill patients given oral supplementation using a 80/20 ratio between glucose / sugar and fat through the bloodstream towards supplementary feeding - TPN based on 50/50 ratio glycose / sugar and fat than the oral supplement provides for something better effect on nitrogen, but has a negative effect on the values glycamine .. When ordinary oral supplementation, without specific glucose and fat even some nutritional supplements are added, the effect of cancer patients much better than this special supplement with much glucose / sugar. Many previous studies have shown that TPN with glycose / sugar and fat on 80/20 or 50/50 basis no value, and some studies seem to prove that even the delayed recovery of the patient rather than improved. Who knows, and what doctors do not know how bad sugar is for a cancer patient will not be surprised by these findings. Oral regular supplementation (S - Enteral nutrition) with minimal glucose or rather no added glucose (I own (see story of Kees with mouth and throat cancer used the first week after a heavy command operation mainly lactic acid fermented vegetable juices and added some food supplements I even used the probe to work inside and I recovered quickly from a touch and go situation) is far preferable to TPN = Total Parental Nutrition or EN = oral supplementation with specific gluycose / fat snacks. Also in the study publication list of physician-biologist drs . Valstar where many studies of TPN and EN are listed. Here two recent studies.

OBJECTIVE: Protein sparing, the major goal of nutritional support, May Be Affected By The glucose / lipid ratio. This study in Critically Ill Patients compared the efficacy and tolerance of two isocaloric isonitrogenous total parenteral nutrition (TPN) having different glucose / lipid ratios.
DESIGN: Prospective Multi-Centric randomized study.
PATIENT: 47 patients with SAPS I score higher than 8 and Requiring exclusive TPN.INTERVENTIONS: Patients received glucose / lipid ratios or 50/50 or 80/20. 7 days for ALL patients received glucidolipidic 32 kcal / kg and 0.27 g / kg nitrogen daily. All-in-one bags were prepared Using a fat emulsion and industrial mixtures.
MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: We Determined TPN efficacy by nitrogen balance, urinary 3-methylhistidine/creatinine ratio, transthyretin and tolerance by glycemia, and liver enzymes. After controlling for five variables with significant effects, Patients Receive the 50/50 ratio was significantly higher nitrogen TPN constantly balancing Than Those Receiving the 80/20 ratio. The daily difference in mean nitrogen sparing effect in favor of the Latter group was 1367 g (95% CI 0.0686-2.048). Glycemia on day 4 and gamma-glutamyl on day 8 were higher in the group Receive the 80/20 ratio.
CONCLUSIONS: In Critically Ill Patients TPN at a glucose / lipid ratio or 80/20 ratio induces a small nitrogen sparing effect compared to the ratio of 50/50, at the expense of poorer glycemic control. The clinical significance is Unclear.

BACKGROUND: Total Parental Nutrition (TPN) meets the metabolic needs of post-operative patient, but their guests Potential Complications, Including intestinal mucosal atrophy. Surgical Advances have Increased the certainty of making esophagoenteric anastomosis early oral feeding after surgery Enteral Feasible. The objective of the current report is to compare the benefits or enteral nutrition (EN) and TPN in patients under going total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
METHODS: Forty-two Patients who under-went total gastrectomy for gastric cancer were randomized to receive oral and beginning onpost-operative day (POD) 3 with peripheral TPN supplements or beginning on POD 3. Concentrations of serum albumin and retinol-binding protein (RBP) as nutritional parameters and diamine oxidase (DAO) activity, an enzyme reflecting mucosal integrity, were Measured preoperatively and 1, 4, 7, and 14 days postoperatively and compared Between the two groups. Complications, abdominal symptoms, duration of hospital stay, cost per hospitalization and treatment Virtualization Also were compared.
RESULTS: Albumin and RBP Concentrations changed little in Either group. DAO activity Decreased in Both Recovered within-groups and 1 week in the EN group but not in the TPN group. Complications were similar in the two groups. Treatment cost was less and length of hospital stay was Shorter in the EN group.
CONCLUSIONS: EN is an efficient way to nutrition to Provide Patients and Possibly Prevent intestinal atrophy in the patient who must endure prolonged post-operative fasting. Compared to TPN, AND Reduces treatment cost and hospital length-of-stay.
