ABSTRACT
Objective To study the nutritional status in different age patients with esophageal cancer during radiotherapy. Methods Ninety nine patients with esophageal carcinoma accepted radiotherapy in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from June 2012 to August 2013 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups by their age: the younger age60 years group (P>0.05). No significant difference was found for body mass index (BMI), arm circumference (AC), arm muscle circumference (AMC) in each group (P>0.05). Conclusion The elderly patients with esophageal cancer had significantly increased risk of malnutrition and decreased nutritional status than the younger patients during radiotherapy. Early start of nutrition interventions in the elderly patients may be benefitted.
