Energy and nutrient intake of children with cancer. 1983

P Carter, and D Carr, and J van Eys, and I Ramirez, and D Coody, and G Taylor

Two hundred seventy-seven pediatric cancer patients received a nutritional assessment. Initial dietary intakes of patients with no prior treatment indicated a diet similar to that of the general population. The caloric intake was 75% of the RDA in a group of patients with non-malignant diseases and 80% of the RDA in the groups of patients with solid tumors and hematopoietic malignancies. Protein intake was greater than 100% of the RDA for all groups. Dietary iron was the nutrient lowest in intake, with a range of 70% to 78% of the RDA. At six-month evaluations, no significant changes occurred except for an increase in iron, niacin, riboflavin, and protein intakes in the group with solid tumors.
