説明
Loss of appetite is frequently seen and is a main factor affecting quality of life (QOL) in patients with advanced cancer. The etiology for loss of appetite in patients with cancer is multifactorial. The sensory properties of food are factors regulating appetite. Changes in taste, smell and texture of foods influence food intake. The appearance of the food is also a notable factor in sensory-specific satiety. We described a 46-year-old Japanese woman with multiple metastatic liver tumors. Although there was no obvious factor for loss of appetite, she suffered from a loss of appetite and subsequent malnutrition. In order to improve the appearance of food, we reduced the diet to 1000 kcal/day from 1500 kcal/day. On the new diet, the patient’s appetite significantly increased and patient’s nutritional status was improved. Eating whole diet was an important achievement and increased in mental aspects of QOL. Arrangement for the appearance of food may be a simple and nontoxic therapeutic strategy for patients with cancer suffering a loss of appetite.
