Case Study #33
Esophageal Cancer
Lynne Roller and Teresa Schwendler
What is cancer?
Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by
uncontrolled cell division and the ability of these cells
to invade other tissues-either by direct growth to
adjacent tissue(invasion) or by migration of cells to
distant sites(metastasis)
Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal Cancer
Form 1: Adenocarcinoma (AC)
Form 2: Squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)
Etiology For Esophageal Cancer
 Smoking
 Alcohol abuse
 Obesity
 Having bile reflux
 Eating few fruits and vegetables
 Having gastro-esophageal reflux disease
 Being male and between the ages of 45-70
Cancer Identification Procedures
 Cytologic test
 Physical test
 Biochemical test

Malnutrition (NI-5.2) related to insufficient enteral nutrition
recommendations as evidence by weight loss of over 30
pounds in a two month period and signs of cachexia
Inadequate protein energy intake (NI-5.7.3) related to
metabolic abnormality due to cancerous state as evidence by
Estimated protein intake higher than recommended
prescribed enteral nutrition therapy.
Goals
Talk with other members of the nutrition care team about
the current amount of enteral nutrition that Mr. Seyer is
receiving . Increase Mr. Seyer’s daily protein intake, via
enteral nutrition, to 135g and increasing calories to
2,700kcals
Intervention
 Increase enteral protein intake to 135g per day.
 Increase total energy intake to 2700kcal/day in order to
gain weight.
Monitoring and Evaluation
 Monitor anthropometrics to track weight gain.
 Monitor biochemical data- track protein
 Subjective Global Assessment- gauges the patient’s perception
of their ability to accomplish self-care.
True or False?
 When people have surgery to remove their cancer they often
also have chemotherapy before to reduce the size of the
tumor and after to treat local areas of reoccurrence?
 When people who have cancer start eating again sometimes
they have aversions to eating certain foods?
 Enteral nutrition is always suggested for terminally ill cancer
patients?
