Resumo: Cancer has been one of the main causes of death in the world and it is considered a serious public health problem. The use of amounts of arginine in the nutritional support of the cancer patient has been evaluated not only as a simple nitrogen enhancer, but also considering the pharmacological effects of this amino acid. The aim of this work is to develop a critical analysis of papers published in indexed journals (Medline, Lilacs, NCBI and Cochrane databases) which evaluated pharmacological effects of arginine in patients with cancer. Although the effects of arginine supplementation in experimental studies are already known, the clinical investigation are insufficient and controversial to affirm that the formulas containing this amino acid generate beneficial effects in the immunological system, in the time of survival, in the weight increase, in the tumor growth and in the incidence of metastasis in cancer patients. Controlled clinical studies are needed to establish criteria for the therapeutical use of arginine in patients with different types of cancer.

A suplementação de L-arginina no suporte nutricional do portador de câncer tem sido avaliada como substrato para o implemento do sistema imunólogico de portadores de câncer. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma análise crítica das pesquisas publicadas, em periódicos indexados nas bases de dados Medline, Lilacs, NCBI e Cochrane que avaliaram os efeitos farmacológicos da L-arginina em pacientes com câncer. Os efeitos da suplementação com L-arginina em estudos experimentais têm sido promissores, porém as investigações clínicas são insuficientes e controversas para se afirmar que esse aminoácido exerça efeito benéfico no sistema imunológico, no tempo de sobrevida, no ganho ponderal, no menor crescimento tumoral e na incidência de metástase em portadores de câncer. A realização de estudos clínicos controlados são necessários para estabelecer os critérios para a utilização terapêutica da L-arginina em pacientes com diferentes tipos de câncer.INCA2004-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/201010.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2004v50n4.2010Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 50 No. 4 (2004): Oct./Nov./Dec.; 321-325Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 50 Núm. 4 (2004): oct./nov./dic.; 321-325Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 50 n. 4 (2004): out./nov./dez.; 321-3252176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/2010/1232Novaes, Maria Rita Carvalho GarbiBeal, Fabiani Lage Rodriguesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:31:48Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/2010Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:31:48Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
