Intervention
Is there a relationship between nutritional intake (protein, kcals) to improve tolerance and support recovery from biochemotherapy for melanoma patients, and the reduction of complications associated with treatment?
-
Conclusion
One (1) small comparative, descriptive study (neutral quality) of 25 patients (19 on treatment and 6 off treatment) studied the relationship of fatigue to kcal and protein intake in patients receiving biochemotherapy for melanoma. No association between dietary intake and fatigue was observed.
