ABSTRACT
A total of 155 children diagnosed as having early cancer was assessed as to their status. Their weights were markedly more decreased in proportion to height which showed that these children were in acute malnutrition. Lean body mass in these patients was decreased while total body fat was normal. This study shows that the children early diagnosed as having cancer suffer from acute malnutrition.
