PP110-MON CELLULAR INTEGRITY ASSESSED BY PHASE ANGLE, IN PATIENTS WITH CANCER UNDERGOING SURGERY

Methods: The study was done with 37 patients at National Cancer Institute, Brazil, from May 2012 to February 2013. The data collected were: age, gender and PG-SGA at the time of admission. Circulating T lymphocytes (CD4, CD8, NKT like) and Natural Killer (NK) cells were evaluated by threecolor flow cytometry immunophenotyping. Data were acquired using the CellQuest software (BD Biosciences) and analyzed with the Infinicyt software (Cytognos). The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 17.0, using the Student t test and Pearson correlation, considering p < 0.05 as statistically significant. Results: Among the patients studied, 62.2% were male, 64.9% were elderly, 29.7% were considered well nourished (A), 51.4% considered moderate malnourished or with malnutrition risk (B) and 18.9% severely malnourished (C), with PG-SGA score range from 1 to 31. Regarding the initial immune profile, all the parameters were considered normal and there was no statistical difference between groups (table 1). However, there was a negative correlation between PG-SGA score and CD4 (r = 0.48, p = 0.01).
