AB - Objective: Constipation is a frequently occurring yet underdiagnosed symptom in cancer patients. In particular, cancer cachexia, anorexia, and the use of narcotic analgesics directly contribute to the development of constipation by impairing gastrointestinal motility, which in turn may lead to a vicious cycle of worsening nutritional status and reduced treatment tolerability. This case report describes the application of Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) in a patient who was deemed inoperable due to multiple compounding factors, resulting in an improvement in overall physical condition.
Case Report: This case report presents the application of OCNT in an 85-year-old Korean female patient who was deemed ineligible for surgery after being diagnosed with breast cancer, due to physical deterioration associated with anorexia and chronic constipation. Following the intervention, the resolution of constipation symptoms and improvement in nutrient absorption efficiency led to weight recovery, ultimately enabling the patient to regain sufficient physical fitness to receive surgical clearance from the treating hospital.
Conclusion: This case suggests that OCNT may serve as an effective adjunct therapy capable of contributing to preoperative condition optimization (pre-habilitation) in cancer patients through constipation management and improvement of nutritional status.
