NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCY AS A PATHOGENIC FACTOR IN FUNCTIONAL AND METABOLIC DISORDERS IN CHILDREN RECEIVING STANDARD CHEMOTHERAPY AFTER SURGICAL TREATMENT OF BRAIN MEDULLOBLASTOMA
The objective is pathogenic rationale behind using nutrients to suppress functional and metabolic disorders in children exposed to standard chemotherapy after surgical medulloblastoma removal. The study covers 80 children 6 to 16 years old with cerebellum medulloblastoma who have undergone surgical tumor removal with subsequent chemotherapy. Another 40 patients have undergone surgical tumor removal with subsequent chemo- and radiation therapy, and 40 children who have received chemo, radiation therapy, and extra nutrients being Nutricomp Standard Liquid isocaloric mixture. It has been found that the nutrients reduce secondary alteration, facilitate faster tissue reparation, normalize free radical oxidization, reduce catabolic rate and intoxication, stimulate hematopoiesis.
