Application into practice:
- Patients with HPV-positive head and neck cancer may experience greater weight loss than patients with HPV-negative disease, have a higher utilisation of reactive feeding tubes, and a high prevalence of pre-treatment sarcopenia. This research will help to provide new knowledge and understanding to optimise patient-centred nutrition care and clinical management for this population.
- Dietitians will enhance their knowledge of dietary patterns and the potential role for dietary patterns to improve nutritional status among people with cancer. The future role of dietary patterns use in clinical practice will be discussed.
- Dietitians will be able to better understand the nutritional implications of pelvic radiotherapy and utilise the current evidence around dietary management for diarrhoea to guide their practice.
Speakers:
Anna Edwards is an accredited practising dietitian working in Cancer Care at the Toowoomba Hospital, Queensland, and is currently completing her PhD at the University of Queensland. Her research is investigating the prevalence, incidence, and prognostic significance of malnutrition and/or CT-defined sarcopenia for patients with human papillomavirus(HPV)-positive head and neck cancer.
Annie Curtis is an Accredited Practising Dietitian and PhD candidate at the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN) at Deakin University with experience in both clinical and epidemiological oncology research. Annie’s research interests include dietary patterns, with a particular focus on the role of dietary patterns to improve nutritional status and physical function during and after cancer treatment.
Emilie Croisier has experience as a clinical and research dietitian, working at the Royal Brisbane and Women's hospital for the past five years whilst undertaking her PhD at the University of Queensland in the 'Nutritional management of patients with gynaecological cancers undergoing pelvic radiotherapy: identifying nutritional implications and dietary recommendations for symptom management'.
