  1. Head and Neck Cancer with Fibula Free-Flap Surgery and Provision of Immuno-Enhanced Enteral Nutrition Support January 28, 2014 Presented by Natalie Frison, Sodexo Mid-Atlantic Dietetic Internship, Class of 2014

  2. Outline • Introduction • Discussion of Disease • Current Research • Medical Interventions • Nutrition Interventions • Patient History • Social History • Medical History • Nutrition History • Objective Data • Discussion of Treatment and Hospital Course

  3. Learning Objectives • Describe the surgical procedure for the resection of head and neck cancer. • Name two nutrients commonly included in immune-enhancing enteral nutrition formulas and explain their functions in post-surgical patients.

  4. Introduction • S.M. is a 79 yo male • Admitting diagnosis: squamous cell carcinoma of the right retromolartrigone • Admitted to GWUH on 12/2/13 for tumor resection • Discharged to hospice care on 1/1/14 • Discharge diagnosis: dermal metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma

  6. Discussion of Disease

  7. Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) • Oral cancer: 6th most common cancer globally1 • SCC accounts for 90% of all oral cancers1,2 • Associated with tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and low intake of fruits and vegetables1,2,3 • Also may be linked to HPV, genetic markers3 • More prevalent in men than in women1,2 • Average age at diagnosis: 62 years2

  8. Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) • Treatment: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy • 5-year survival: about 50%1 • About 2/3 of patients present with advanced stage and metastatic growth2 • Prognosis associated with TNM stage2,3

  9. Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) • Prognosis also associated with surgical margins2,3 • Even with “successful” surgery, margins may contain pre-cancerous keratinocytes • Local recurrence: about 30% • SCC has high incidence of metastasis:2,3 • Lymph node • Perineural • Vascular

  10. Dermal Metastasis • Dermal metastasis is rare4 • Survival: 1 to 65 weeks4 • Considered terminal stage of disease4 • Palliative care4

  11. Free-Flap Reconstruction • Tumor is resected from head/neck • Bone, tissue, and vasculature are taken from a donor site on the patient and transferred to the site of resection • Osteocutaneous free-flap tissue transfer is preferred surgery for mandibular defect reconstruction5 • Well-vascularized, thick tissue6 • Restore mandible form and function

  12. A-B) Before surgery. C-D) 60 days after surgery.7

  13. A-B) Frontal and lateral view of the patient after surgery. C-D) 3D-CT 6 months after surgery.7

  14. Free-Flap Reconstruction • Success rate: 90-99%8,9 • Considered safe, effective procedure for elderly patients8,9 • 5-year survival: 51%5 • Return of oral function: 89%5

  15. Nutrition in Head & Neck Cancer • High risk for malnutrition due to dysphagia10 • Obstruction due to tumor • Effect of chemo/radiation • Result of surgery • Use of enteral nutrition support • PEG is preferred route10 • Pretreatment/home EN10 • Prevent weight loss, dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, treatment interruptions10

  16. Immuno-Nutrition • Surgery -> inflammatory response -> immunosuppression -> infections 11,12, 13 • Supplementation of nutrients in addition to energy and protein • Modulate inflammatory response • Boost immune system • Decrease risk for infection

  17. Immuno-Nutrition • Nutrients include: • Arginine • Glutamine • Omega-3 fatty acids • Antioxidants • Trace elements

  18. Immuno-Nutrition • Arginine • Essential component of immune cells, especially lymphocytes (T cells)11,12,13,14 • Precursor of cells used for collagen synthesis and tissue repair13,14 • Glutamine • Increased production of immune cells11,12,14 • Improved gut barrier function11,12 • Increased protein synthesis12,14

  19. Immuno-Nutrition • Omega-3 fatty acids • Decreased production of inflammatory mediators11,12,13,14 • Antioxidants and trace elements11,14 • Zinc, copper, selenium, vitamin E, vitamin C, N-acetyl cysteine • Anti-inflammatory properties • Reduce oxidative stress

  20. EAL Recommendation • Pre-operative and post-operative use of arginine-containing EN15,16,17,18,19 • Not recommended • Research shows no significant impact • Fair • Imperative

  21. Immuno-Nutrition: Consensus • Sources: ESPEN,11 SCCM,12 A.S.P.E.N.12 • Good efficacy in surgical patients11,12,13 • Reduction in rate of infections11,12,13 • Decreased length of hospital stay11,12,13,14 • No significant effect on mortality11,12,13 • More benefits seen in malnourished patients13 • Should be initiated pre-operatively12

  22. Case Study: Oral SCC, Free-flap Reconstruction, and Provision of Immuno-enhancing EN

  23. Patient Social History • S.M. was a 79 yomale • Muslim • Retired • Widowed • Supportive family • Speaks English and Urdu • Former smoker (risk factor) • Does not drink alcohol

  24. Medical and Nutrition History • PMH: GERD, BPH • 10/8/13: Diagnosed at MFA Otolaryngology clinic • Squamous cell carcinoma of the right retromolartrigone • 11/17/13: Presented to ED for jaw pain • Followed by ENT team • PEG placement pre-operatively on 11/22 • Scheduled tumor resection • 11/25/13: Discharged
