          Abstract

          Abstract Objectives: to evaluate the nutritional status and body composition of women with gynecological tumors and evaluate the fat mass index (FMI) as a complementary indicator for addressing the nutrition status. Methods: a cross-sectional study with women recently diagnosed with gynecological tumors. Nutritional status was assessed using conventional anthropometry and the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment. For body composition, bioelectrical impedance was used. Results: a total of 158 women participated, most of them with excess weight and high body fat. The FMI showed a positive and significant correlation with body mass index, arm circumference, tricipital skinfold, and arm muscle circumference. Conclusion: women recently diagnosed with gynecological tumors had excess weight and high body fat. The FMI may be a potentially useful indicator to complement the assessment of nutritional status and help the multidisciplinary team to perform early clinical and nutritional interventions.

          Resumen Objetivos: evaluar el estado Nutricional y la composición corporal de mujeres con tumores ginecológicos, y evaluar el índice de masa grasa (IMG) como indicador Nutricional complementario. Métodos: estudio transversal con mujeres diagnosticadas recientemente de tumores ginecológicos. El estado Nutricional se evaluó mediante la antropometría convencional y la Evaluación Global Subjetiva Generada por el Paciente. Para la composición corporal se utilizó la impedancia bioeléctrica. Resultados: participaron 158 mujeres, la mayoría con exceso de peso y grasa corporal alta. El IMG mostró una correlación positiva y significativa con el índice de masa corporal, la circunferencia del brazo, el pliegue cutáneo tricipital y la circunferencia de los músculos del brazo. Conclusión: las mujeres diagnosticadas recientemente con tumores ginecológicos presentaron exceso de peso y grasa corporal alta. El IMG puede ser un indicador potencialmente útil para complementar la evaluación del estado Nutricional y ayudar al equipo multidisciplinario a realizar intervenciones clínicas y Nutricionales tempranas.

          The American Joint Committee on Cancer: the 7th edition of the AJCC cancer staging manual and the future of TNM.

          The American Joint Committee on Cancer and the International Union for Cancer Control update the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) cancer staging system periodically. The most recent revision is the 7th edition, effective for cancers diagnosed on or after January 1, 2010. This editorial summarizes the background of the current revision and outlines the major issues revised. Most notable are the marked increase in the use of international datasets for more highly evidenced-based changes in staging, and the enhanced use of nonanatomic prognostic factors in defining the stage grouping. The future of cancer staging lies in the use of enhanced registry data standards to support personalization of cancer care through cancer outcome prediction models and nomograms.

            Statistics corner: A guide to appropriate use of correlation coefficient in medical research.

            M M Mukaka (2012)
            Correlation is a statistical method used to assess a possible linear association between two continuous variables. It is simple both to calculate and to interpret. However, misuse of correlation is so common among researchers that some statisticians have wished that the method had never been devised at all. The aim of this article is to provide a guide to appropriate use of correlation in medical research and to highlight some misuse. Examples of the applications of the correlation coefficient have been provided using data from statistical simulations as well as real data. Rule of thumb for interpreting size of a correlation coefficient has been provided.
