A systematic review of vitamin D supplementation in oncology: chance of science...
Afonso, Marta Lourenço; Capelas, Manuel Luís; Pimenta, Nuno M.; Santos, Teresa; Mäkitie, Antti; Ganhão-Arranhado, Susana; Trabulo, CarolinaBackground: Vitamin D (VD) supplementation has increased considerably in the last decade, whether for the prevention or treatment of numerous diseases, including bone, cardiovascular, endocrine, neurologic, psychological, respiratory, infectious, or oncological. The primary objective of this scoping review was to examine and synthesize the scientific evidence on the role of VD in all-type cancer patients underg...

Assessment of nutritional status of oncology patients at hospital admission : a...
Trabulo, Carolina; Lopes, Joana; Dias, David da Silva; Gramaça, João; Fernandes, Isabel; Gameiro, Rita; Pina, Idília; Mäkitie, Antti; Ottery, FaithBackground: Nutritional status in patients with cancer has a determining role in the evolution of the disease and tolerance to treatments. Severity of undernutrition impacts morbidity and mortality in cancer patients and can limit patient response to the optimal therapies if nutritional issues are not appropriately addressed and managed. Despite the importance of malnutrition for the clinical evolution of oncol...
Impact of body composition on prognosis and dose-limiting toxicities on metasta...
Dias, David da Silva; Machado, Mafalda; Trabulo, Carolina; Gosálbez, Beatriz; Ravasco, PaulaSarcopenia is a progressive skeletal muscle disease, often present in oncological patients, that is associated with multiple adverse events such as worse prognosis, physical performance, and quality of life. Body composition evaluation by CT cross-section at the L3 vertebrae region appears to be a precise method to quantify skeletal muscle. The optimal cut-off for the definition of sarcopenia is not yet establi...

Managing severe dysgeusia and dysosmia in lung cancer patients : a systematic s...
Spencer, Ana Sofia; Dias, David da Silva; Capelas, Manuel Luís; Pimentel, Francisco; Santos, Teresa; Neves, Pedro Miguel; Mäkitie, Antti; Ravasco, PaulaIntroduction: Lung cancer (LC) is highly prevalent worldwide, with elevated mortality. In this population, taste and smell alterations (TSAs) are frequent but overlooked symptoms. The absence of effective therapeutic strategies and evidence-based guidelines constrain TSAs’ early recognition, prevention and treatment (Tx), promoting cancer-related malnutrition and jeopardizing survival outcomes and quality of li...
