Ukraine is expanding opportunities to combat oncological pathologies – in support of World Cancer Day, we recall the efforts that the state, and the Center in particular, are directing toward the development of treatment and support for cancer patients in Ukraine.
New standards of medical care for patients with malignant neoplasms of the liver, as well as for nutritional support of cancer patients, were recently approved. Specialists of the Center were part of the development team.
By MoH orders, evidence-based standards of medical care and clinical guidelines have been approved: “Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)” (MoH order No. 146 of 26.01.2024) and “Nutritional support in adult oncology patients” (MoH order No. 142 of 26.01.2024).
The documents are based on evidence-based medicine data and aim to expand the methods of early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with HCC. They also define current recommendations on therapeutic nutrition for cancer patients in Ukraine.
The most optimal and effective treatment strategy, with which the best prognosis can be achieved and the quality of life of patients preserved, is a multidisciplinary approach to patient management. For the first time at the standard level, the role of diet and therapeutic nutrition has been defined, which make it possible to stabilize nutritional status and enhance the effectiveness of antitumor therapy.
