Nutritional status at diagnosis of children with malignancies in Casablanca

Abstract: Introduction Nutritional assessment is an essential component of the initial assessment of children with cancer.

“…The observed differences in nutritional status associated with cancer type were consistent with literature that demonstrates that malnutrition at diagnosis is most frequent among patients with solid tumors, especially Wilms tumor or neuroblastoma, and those with AML or myelodysplastic syndrome, and least frequent in ALL and Hodgkin lymphoma, though not reaching statistical significance most likely due to small sample size. Prevalence of malnutrition in patients with newly diagnosed BL was similar to that in patients with AML and should also be considered among the most at risk groups.…”

“…Cancer confers an additional risk of malnutrition due to increased metabolic rate, anorexia, inflammation, and altered physical activity . Studies in Central America, Morocco, and Malawi have demonstrated high rates of malnutrition (20–59%) in children at the time of cancer diagnosis . Moreover, malnutrition varies widely by disease type.…”
