Cancer patients present various physiological, metabolic, social and emotional changes as a consequence of the disease\u2019s own catabolism, and may be potentiated in the gastrointestinal tract cancer by their interference with food intake, digestion and absorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
o evaluate the functionality of upper gastrointestinal cancer patients which have undertaken surgery and analyze the factors associated with changes in strength and functionality during hospitalization time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prospective analytical study in patients with cancer of the upper gastrointestinal tract which have undertaken surgery. Was evaluated the handgrip strength using a hand dynamometer and functionality through the functional independence measure and Functional Status Scale for Intensive Care Unit in the preoperative period, 2nd<\/sup> and 7th<\/sup> postoperative day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Were included 12 patients, 75% men, and mean age was 58.17 years old. The most prevalent tumor site was stomach (66.7%). There was a progressive reduction from the pre-operative palmar grip strength to the 2nd<\/sup> and 7th<\/sup> postoperative day, respectively. There was a decrease in functional performance from the preoperative period to the 2nd<\/sup> and a gain from the 2nd<\/sup> to the 7th<\/sup> postoperative day (p<0.001).<\/p>\n\n\n\n An important reduction in the handgrip strength and functionality was evidenced during the postoperative period in relation to the basal value in the pre-operative period.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Background: Cancer patients present various physiological, metabolic, social and emotional changes as a consequence of the disease\u2019s own catabolism, and may be potentiated in the gastrointestinal tract cancer by their interference with food intake, digestion and absorption.
