Abstract

Kolorektalni karcinom jedno je od najčešćih sijela karcinoma u svijetu te predstavlja jedan od vodećih uzroka smrti uzrokovane rakom. Bolest i njezino liječenje uzrokuju narušavanje nutritivnog statusa zbog čega je nutritivna potpora od iznimne važnosti za bolesnika. Cilj ovog rada je objasniti neke od najvećih izazova kod prehrane pacijenata oboljelih od kolorektalnog karcinoma te proučavajući dostupnu literaturu prikazati načine na koje se može odviti nutritivna terapija. Malnutricija predstavlja jedan od najvećih problema pacijenata zbog čega je iznimno bitno po uspostavi dijagnoze procijeniti nutritivni status. Kirurški zahvat, kemoterapija i radioterapija sa sobom nose brojne nuspojave i simptome zbog kojih se često upotrebljavaju oralni nutritivni suplementi i enteralna prehrana. Brojne studije potvrđuju blagotvoran učinak imunonutritivnih pripravaka, ali su potrebna daljnja istraživanja koja će pružiti konkretni zaključak. Naposljetku, da bi nutritivna terapija bila što učinkovitija potreban je individualan pristup pacijentu i interdisciplinarna suradnja stručnjaka za zbrinjavanje bolesti.

Abstract (english)

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. The disease and its treatment lead to a deterioration in nutritional status, which is why nutritional support for the patient is extremely important. The aim of this paper is to explain some of the major nutritional challenges faced by patients with colorectal cancer and how nutritional therapy can be implemented based on the available literature. Malnutrition is one of the biggest problems faced by patients, which is why it is extremely important to assess nutritional status after diagnosis. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy cause numerous side effects and symptoms, often necessitating the use of oral nutritional supplements and enteral nutrition. Many studies confirm the positive effect of immunonutritional supplements, but more research is needed to draw a firm conclusion. For nutritional therapy to be as effective as possible, it ultimately requires an individualised approach for the patient and interdisciplinary collaboration between treatment specialists.
