Abstract:
The evidence of the use of artificial nutrition in the patients suffering from malignant disease is inconsistent due to ethics and possible support of malignant cells by supplemented substrates. On the contrary, tumor cachexia from various causes is one of the most frequent manifestation of tumor. The indications and composition of artificial nutrition in the intensive care of patients suffering from tumors are discussed owing to the therapy.
