Article Title: Nutritional and metabolic aspects of gastrointestinal cancer
Abstract: The profound impact of nutrition and nutritional support on the development and clinical outcome of gastrointestinal cancer is undeniable. However, scientific investigation into this area is recent, and many questions remain unanswered. While the importance of 'good nutrition' is unchallenged, details relating to which patients should receive nutritional support, when they should receive it, and what type of support they should receive are not known. Recent prospective randomized clinical trials and metanalysis have provided conflicting results. This review summarizes the results of the published studies that have addressed these issues, and provides specifics regarding the current role of nutritional support in clinical care, and the prospects for future research. © 1999 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
