The Effect of Parenteral Nutrition Supplement on Esophagectomy Patients

March 30, 2014 updated by: Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital

The Effect of Parenteral Nutrition Supplement Versus Enteral Nutrition Alone on Nutrition Status After Esophagectomy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Malnutrition is common in esophagus cancer patients, especially after surgery therapy. Whether parenteral supplement with enteral nutrtion is benificial for patients after esophagectomy is controversial, when compared with enteral nutrition alone. In this study, the investigators are to examine the effect of enteral nutrition supplemented with parenteral nutrtion on nutrition status after esophagectomy.
