Case Study 5: Disorders of Gastrointestinal Function
Marcee is a 52-year-old woman who worked at a
reception desk at a company head office. She took some time off when she was
treated for color ectal cancer. The Dukes classification was stage I, and the
treatment protocol involved surgery and radiation therapy. No one in her family had a history of
the disease. Marcee does not drink or smoke, but she does not pay close
attention to her diet. At work, her meals consisted mainly of the foods she got
from vending machines at the cafeteria. At home, she preferred to heat up frozen dinners or any prepackaged
food that required minimal preparation time.
