The recognition and practice of perioperative nutrition support therapy for patients with operable cancer / 中华临床营养杂志

ABSTRACT

Operable cancer patients should receive nutritional risk screening or/and nutritional assessment before surgery.Perioperative nutrition support therapy should be planned and implemented for the patients with nutritional risk or malnutrition,but not necessarily following special nutritional formula.Reducing the time of preoperative fasting,providing reasonable preoperative nutrition support,and early postoperative feeding in combination may be the preferred strategy for perioperative nutritional intervention and management.Because the disease of cancer patients is complicated and changeable,perioperative nutrition support is not only a technology,but also an “art”.The guidelines,disease information,and clinical experience should be “cleverly tailored and combined” to promote the outcome-improving effect of nutrition support therapy.
