ABSTRACT
Thirty consecutive patient operated upon for cancer oesophagus and stomach were chosen at random for this study. A control group of 10 patients were not treated by intravenous alimentation, while the remaining 20 patients received intravenous alimentation. The KN ratio was used as a guide parameter for the metabolic changes in each group. The KN ratio and the N-balance can indicate the metabolic state and the ratio is an earlier indicator and useful guide parameter m such cases
