In order to obtain or maintain a good nutritional status in cancer patients, it is often necessary to perform intravenous nutrition. In summary, several studies have indicated that intravenous nutrition may be beneficial in association with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy in patients with cancer. More controlled studies, however, are required. There is no indication at the present time of any adverse effects of this method of treatment in relation to tumor growth. The general nutritional improvement in patients on intravenous nutrition increases the immunocompetence, resistance to radiation and cytostatic as well as the mood and quality of life of the cancer patients. In very broad terms this new intravenous nutrition therapy means that a cancer patient should not be left without specific cancer therapy because of starvation and its serious or even fatal complications.
为了使癌症患者获得或维持良好的营养状况，常常需要进行静脉营养。总之，多项研究表明，静脉营养在癌症患者接受手术、放疗或化疗时可能有益。然而，还需要更多对照研究。目前没有迹象表明这种治疗方法对肿瘤生长有任何不良影响。接受静脉营养的患者总体营养状况改善，会增强免疫能力、提高对放疗和细胞抑制剂的耐受性，同时改善癌症患者的情绪和生活质量。从非常宽泛的意义上来说，这种新的静脉营养疗法意味着，癌症患者不应因饥饿及其严重甚至致命的并发症而无法接受特定的癌症治疗。
