ABSTRACT

Rationale: Global incidence of skin cancer has notoriously increased. It is perceived that knowledge of the patient with skin cancer on food and nutrition subjects that might influence upon disease evolution and response to treatment is lacking. Objective: To establish the state of food intakes by the patient with skin cancer of the non-melanoma type. Material and method: A semiquantitative food frequency dietetic survey was administered to 121 patients (Males: 78; Ages ≥ 70 years: 40.5%; Basal-cell carcinoma: 84.3%) assisted between January 2012 and July 2012 at the ambulatory practice of the Dermatology Service of the “Comandante Pinares” University Hospital (Artemisa, Artemisa, Cuba) in order to establish the frequency of consumption of 22 food categories. Results: Cereals (100.0% of the patients), roots (81.0%), and legumes (66.1%) were consumed in several occasions during the day. Eighty-point- one percent and 59.5% of the surveyed patients declared they consumed several times a day animal fats and sugar (or sweets), respectively. Seventy-three point percent of the patients also referred they drank coffee several times a day. Fifty-one point two percent of the participants declared ingestión of milk and dairy products once a day. Red meats were ingested once a day by 36.4% of the subjects. White meats were consumed between 1 – 3 times a week by 42.9% of those interviewed. Forty-two point 9 percent ingested vegetables once a day, while 43.8% consumed citrus fruits between 4 – 6 times a week. Conclusions: Regular diet of the patient with skin cancer of the non-melanoma type was monotonous, and did not comply with the criteria for a “Healthy” diet. Current state of food intakes could affect response to surgical-medical treatment. It is recommended to include food and nutrition issues in the national programs for prevention and treatment of skin cancer, in order to reduce its incidence, maximize the response to implemented treatment, and thus extend free-of-cancer life expectancy.
