“…[42][43][44] Pain has been reported to compromise spontaneous food intake in patients with advanced cancer. 45,46 Additionally, pain has been strongly associated with reduced functional capacity. 32,33 The physiological effects of pain stimulate the stress response which increases catabolism and stimulates the release of catecholamines that alter gastrointestinal activity.…”

“…5 Control of pain and other distressing NIS improved dietary intake of elderly patients with terminal cancer and patients with advanced cancer, as it allowed them to be receptive to having food, even when experiencing anorexia. 45,46 Thus, it is conceivable that with improved pain control before the onset of treatment, spontaneous dietary intake could be improved. Additionally, referral to experts in pain management before the onset of treatment may assist the patient in finding optimal pain relief, thus reducing the risk of weight loss and reduced functional performance.…”

Many studies have been conducted about dietary interventions aimed at preventing cancer. The American Cancer Society has published guidelines on diet, nutrition and cancer prevention, which are updated periodically as new evidence emerges, and other groups, too, have issued statements or guidelines about nutritional strategies to prevent cancer. Much less is known, however, about optimal nutrition for cancer survivors.This report looks at the different phases of cancer survivorship, from active treatment to advanced disease, and presents existing evidence from which informed decisions can be made regarding dietary choices. Popular complementary and alternative methods related to dietary intervention are reviewed. Nutrition information is also provided according to common cancer sites.As this is an area that requires survivors and health care providers to communicate effectively, a special section on "frequently asked questions" is provided for use as a patient education

Some of these treatment guidelines include chapters devoted to psychosocial care.People with cancer suffer significant emotional morbidity. In addition to the distress, fear and grief consequent upon diagnosis, up to 30% experience clinically significant anxiety disorde...
