Use of oral glutamine in radiation‑induced adverse effects in patients with thoracic and upper aerodigestive malignancies: Results of a prospective observational study
Abstract
Cancer growth in host tissues features glutamine (gln) depletion over time, decreasing epithelial cells' optimal functioning. In addition, radiotherapy (RT) and/or chemotherapy (CT) cause damage to normal tissues, probably enhanced by this depletion. The present study prospectively examined the effect of gln supplementation on 72 patients with thoracic and upper aerodigestive malignancies (T&UAM) treated with sequential or concurrent RT-CT or RT...
