PP108-SUN IMMUNONUTRITION LIMITS PRO-INFLAMMATORY AND PRO-OXIDANT RESPONSE TO RADIOCHEMOTHERAPY IN CANCER PATIENTS

and 17.4% in haematological patients. Length of stay was longer in haematology ward [29 (5 23) days vs 16 (5 25)]. Malnutrition worsens with longer hospital stay: 62% in patients admitted less than 10 days and 76.4% in those with longer hospitalisation. On the haematology ward, malnutrition on those patients admitted more than 10 days increased until 84.6%. Only 21.7% of all malnourished patients were referred to the clinical nutrition unit for nutritional support. There were 34.8% of errors in the diet given to the patients mainly because the prescribed diet was mistaken (28.3%). Conclusions: There are no differences between oncological and haematological inpatients comparing their nutritional status. However malnutrition increased with longer hospital stay. There is still a lack of awareness on the importance of nutritional support in patients with cancer. It’s important to conduct training sessions on the wards for proper indication of the diets.
