Abstract
This study looked at a community-based nutrition intervention in a cancer population. Participants were supplied seven meals a week for the total study duration of 6-weeks. Participants had blood drawn via venipuncture and finger stick. Pre- and post-intervention serum levels of inflammatory cytokines and lipid panel markers. QOL questionnaires assessed participants cancer symptoms, including fatigue, were affecting their physical and social habits. Overall, while no significant changes were seen, the results showed positive trends in self-reported fatigue, health limiting activities, and lipid panel markers. These results can be used as preliminary evidence to support further studies that investigate the use of community-based nutrition interventions for people with cancer. Future research can focus on larger studies that include longer interventions, and look at more specific populations regarding cancer type, sex, or ethnicity.
