title: [Nutritional support in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with polychemotherapy MACOP-B cycle].
abstract: The collateral effects of antineoplastic therapy often lead to a deterioration of the cachectic condition induced by the presence of the tumour itself. This study analysed the effects of a programme of dietary surveillance/support in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma undergoing a cycle of MACOP-B polychemotherapy. During the entire course of therapy patients were followed weekly by a nutritional specialist and a dietician in order to assess and if necessary modify food intake, also in relation to the onset of collateral effects. Using this programme it was observed that a satisfactory nutritional state was maintained during the entire cycle, with an increased food intake compared to the start of the cycle and to conditions of good health.
