Sažetak

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common type of tumor in women, and also leading cause of cancer death in women. An unintentional body mass loss is a common symptom in malignant illnesses and associated with severe submission, improper use, and ultimately reduced the effectiveness of oncological treatment. There is a trend in increase BM of the general population, with decrease in the prevalence of malnutrition in patients with malignant diseases. Nutritional status is an important risk factor for development of breast cancer in postmenopausal women, and since influence the outcomes of antineoplastic treatment, it is necessary to identify the patients at nutritive risk, preferably using standardized nutrition screening tools.
The aim: Present situation in the population of hospital-treated breast cancer patients and investigation whether there is a difference in estimated nutritional risk, depending on BMI and stage of a disease.
Materials and methods: Retrospectively analyzed data from 68 breast cancer patients who were hospitalized at the Department of Oncology in period 05/2016-05/2018 and treated for the first time and/or in previous six months were not treated in any form oncologic treatment. Included were patients of both sexes, one male, and 67 females, average age 59, average BMI 27.5 kg/m².
Results and Discussion: Most respondents were at mild nutritional risk (NRS 0-2), 61 (90%), while at high nutritional risk were seven (10%) respondents.
Conclusions: We have confirmed that population of hospitalized patients with breast cancer is overweight, in mild nutritional risk and thus a difference in nutritional risk depending on the degree of disease and BMI.
