Nutritional support in the complex of medical rehabilitation at the stage of adjuvant radiation therapy of breast cancer

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Currently it is known that there exists the need for complex medical rehabilitation at the stage of adjuvant radiation treatment of breast cancer. However, data on the combined use of nutritional support and physical factors at this stage of oncological treatment are not available.

AIM: Evaluation of the effectiveness of specialized therapeutic and preventive nutrition in patients with malignant breast diseases and a history of polychemotherapy at the stage of adjuvant radiation therapy in complex medical rehabilitation using low-temperature plasma and general magnetic therapy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective simple randomized study was conducted, which involved 60 patients at the stage of adjuvant radiation therapy for breast cancer. The main group (n=30) received a course of medical rehabilitation with the inclusion of nutritional support using specialized therapeutic and preventive nutrition LEOVIT ONCO®, as well as exposure to low-temperature plasma and general magnetotherapy. In the comparison group (n=30), the rehabilitation course included general magnetic therapy without therapeutic and preventive nutrition. All patients underwent individual physiotherapy exercises, and sessions with a medical psychologist. The results obtained were recorded using clinical and functional, laboratory, instrumental studies.

RESULTS: It has been established that the use of specialized dietary products LEOVIT ONCO and physical factors is an effective method of rehabilitation. The use of nutritional support demonstrates the maintenance of the patient’s protein status, reduces intoxication, and reduces the negative impact of oxidative stress factors in the body at the stage of adjuvant radiation treatment. The inclusion of low-temperature plasma and general magnetic therapy in the rehabilitation program has a beneficial effect on hemomicrocirculation in the area of ionizing radiation exposure.

CONCLUSION: The use of nutritional support and physical factors, as a component of complex medical rehabilitation, helps to maintain the optimal nutritional status of the patient, reduces the manifestations of skin radiation reactions, improves the psycho-emotional state of patients and the quality of life of patient.
