✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

The purposes of the study were to evaluate prospectively the nutritional status of children with solid tumors who were receiving chemotherapy, to find the most sensitive parameter of protein energy malnutrition, and to determine whether the stage of disease and aggressiveness of chemotherapy have any influence on nutritional status.

METHODS. Fifty patients were followed prospectively from the time of diagnosis throughout chemotherapy. Serum albumin, prealbumin, and weight were measured at the time of diagnosis and before each course of chemotherapy.
