  1. Elizabeth Mellott, Sodexo Dietetic Intern June 2012 Thyroid Cancer

  2. Follicular cells secrete tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyrone (T3) C Cells secrete calcitonin Parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone Thyroid Gland http://darylmarxmd.com/web_pages/Thyroid_parathyroid_surgery.htm

  3. http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/technical-documents/articles/biofiles/carcinogenesis-and.htmlhttp://www.sigmaaldrich.com/technical-documents/articles/biofiles/carcinogenesis-and.html • Class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division and ability of the cells to invade other tissues either by direct growth into adjacent tissues (invasion) or by migration of cells to distant sites (metastasis) • Initiation → Promotion → Progression cancer

  4. Papillary carcinoma Follicular carcinoma Medullary Carcinoma Anaplastic Carcinoma Types of Thyroid cancer http://endocrinesurgery.ucla.edu/patient_education_adm_tst_thyroid_ultrasound.html

  5. Almost all diseases of the thyroid including cancer occur about 3 times more often in women than in men Exposure to head or neck radiation at a young age A diet low in iodine Family history of thyroid cancer Risk of thyroid cancer peaks earlier for women (who are most often in their 40s or 50s when diagnosed) than for men (who are usually in their 60s or 70s) Risk Factors

  6. Thyroidectomy or Lobectomy External Beam Radiation Therapy Chemotherapy Radioactive Iodine Treatment http://www.medicaltourismco.com/general-surgery/thyroidectomy-surgery-abroad.php

  7. Radiation therapy (RT) is delivered with electromagnetic rays (gamma and x-rays) and charged particles (electrons) RT to the neck can cause mucositis, xerostomia, dysphagia, odynophagia, and subsequently dehydration. Eat foods that are easy to chew and avoid hot, spicy, salty, acidic, and sharp, crunchy foods. MNT for Radiation

  8. Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting may begin 24 hours after the administration of chemotherapy, and last up to a week Encourage patient to take their anti-emetic medications and try 5-6 small meals a day Avoid favorite foods for several days following treatment MNT for Chemotherapy

  9. http://www.aicr.org/reduce-your-cancer-risk/recommendations-for-cancer-prevention/index.htmlhttp://www.aicr.org/reduce-your-cancer-risk/recommendations-for-cancer-prevention/index.html Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight Be physically active for 30 minutes each day Avoid sugary drinks, and limit consumption of energy dense foods Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes such as beans Limit consumption of red meats (beef, pork, lamb) and avoid processed meats Limit alcoholic drinks to 2 for men and 1 for women a day. Limit consumption of salty foods Cancer Prevention

  10. 68 Year Old Caucasian Female Admitting Dx: Acute Renal Failure, Dehydration, Hypokalemia Allergies: Depo-Medrol, Sulfa drugs, Adhesive Tape PMH: HTN, dyslipidemia, COPD, nephrolithiasis, autoimmune hepatitis, PEG, thyroidectomy Family History: Father-prostate cancer, Sister-breast cancer Patient Profile

  11. Electrocardiogram (EKG) Retroperitoneal Ultrasound Abdominal and Pelvic CT scan Urinalysis Diagnostic Tests http://www.ct-scan-info.com/ctkidney.html

  12. Laboratory

  13. Medications http://www.synthroid.com/WhatIsSynthroid/Default.aspx • Synthroid • Oscal with vitamin D • Ativan • Zofran • Protonix • Zocor • Pepcid • Magic Swizzle • Sancuso Patch • Compazine • Cisplatin • Vitamin C • Neutra-Phos • MagOX • Apresoline • Prinivil • K-Dur http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1855948_1863993_1864005,00.html

  14. Inadequate oral intake related to thyroid cancer with chemotherapy and radiation therapy as evidenced by patient's reported symptoms of nausea and vomiting and existing PEG for nutrition support. 1360-1635 kcals (25-30 kcals/kg) 54 grams protein ( 1 gram/kg) 1635 mL fluid (30 mL/kg) Nutrition therapy

  15. Recommended Jevity 1.2 @ 50 mL/hr to provide 1440 kcals, 67 grams protein. For home, Jevity 1.2 @ 120 mL/hr for 10 hours with 220 mL free water three times/day. Encourage oral intake as patient is able to tolerate to preserve swallowing function. Nutrition therapy http://abbottnutrition.com/products/jevity-1_2-cal
