Reduced food intake is a common problem in patients with malignant disease. Oral supplementation is the simplest and least invasive method of increasing the nutrient intake, and a number of neutral protein and energy supplements are available. This study was carried out to assess the value of these supplements when incorporated into the everyday diet of cancer patients. The first stage of the study evaluated the palatability of the energy and protein supplements available. Polycal was found to be the most acceptable energy supplement and Protifar the most acceptable protein supplement. These two products were then used to assess their contribution to the protein and energy intake of cancer patients when incorporated into everyday food. The rise in protein and energy intake was statistically significant but the increase in energy was not thought to be clinically important.
食物摄入量减少是恶性疾病患者的常见问题。口服补充是增加营养摄入最简单且侵入性最小的方法，有多种中性蛋白质和能量补充剂可供选择。本研究旨在评估这些补充剂纳入癌症患者日常饮食时的价值。研究的第一阶段评估了现有能量和蛋白质补充剂的适口性。发现聚卡乐是最易接受的能量补充剂，而百普素是最易接受的蛋白质补充剂。然后使用这两种产品评估它们纳入日常食物时对癌症患者蛋白质和能量摄入的贡献。蛋白质和能量摄入量的增加具有统计学意义，但能量的增加在临床上被认为并不重要。
