[Metabolic consequences of parenteral nutrition in tumor patients]. 1984

J M Müller, and H W Keller, and U Brenner, and M Walter

Between 30 and 60% of all carcinoma patients are already in deficient nutritional status at the time when diagnosis of the disease is established. The pathogenesis of this deficit is multifactorial. Increased caloric needs as caused by the malignoma as well as loss of adaptability of the tumor patient to reduced nutritional intake may be decisive factors. Effective parenteral nutrition is possible before, but only rarely during oncological therapy. Prospective studies have shown up to now only in tumor surgery but not in patients treated only with chemotherapy or with radiation therapy of malignoma that adjuvant parenteral nutrition may improve the results of treatment as determined by prolongation of life. The role of parenteral nutrition as an adjuvant therapeutic step in oncology has to be defined more clearly in the future, as is the case with most other adjuvant therapeutic measures.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010288 Parenteral Nutrition The administering of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient who cannot maintain adequate nutrition by enteral feeding alone. Nutrients are administered by a route other than the alimentary canal (e.g., intravenously, subcutaneously). Intravenous Feeding,Nutrition, Parenteral,Parenteral Feeding,Feeding, Intravenous,Feeding, Parenteral,Feedings, Intravenous,Feedings, Parenteral,Intravenous Feedings,Parenteral Feedings
D010289 Parenteral Nutrition, Total The delivery of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient whose sole source of nutrients is via solutions administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or by some other non-alimentary route. The basic components of TPN solutions are protein hydrolysates or free amino acid mixtures, monosaccharides, and electrolytes. Components are selected for their ability to reverse catabolism, promote anabolism, and build structural proteins.

D011182 Postoperative Care The period of care beginning when the patient is removed from surgery and aimed at meeting the patient's psychological and physical needs directly after surgery.
