[Artificial nutrition in oncologic surgery: our experience]

Area of Science:

• Oncology
• Surgical Nutrition
• Gastroenterology

Context:

• Oncologic surgical patients often experience malnutrition and require nutritional support.
• Post-operative recovery is critical for cancer patients undergoing surgery.
• Optimizing nutritional status is key to improving patient outcomes.

Purpose:

• To evaluate the experience with artificial nutrition (AN) in oncologic surgical patients.
• To determine the optimal timing for initiating AN in this patient group.
• To assess the impact of early AN on patient recovery.

Summary:

• Artificial nutrition (AN), particularly enteral nutrition, was utilized in oncologic surgical patients.
• The study highlights the importance of early post-operative initiation of AN.
• Timely nutritional intervention is associated with improved outcomes.

Impact:

• Early implementation of enteral nutrition can enhance recovery in post-operative cancer patients.
• This approach may reduce complications and improve the overall prognosis for surgical oncology patients.
• Findings support the integration of early AN protocols in surgical oncology care.
