Esophageal cancer, enteral nutrition, progressAbstract
Patients with esophageal cancer often experience symptoms such as dysphagia due to the progression of the disease, resulting in insufficient intake and energy consumption caused by their own diseases. Eventually, this leads to malnutrition, decreased immunity, increased inflammation levels, and affects the quality of life. After surgery, negative nitrogen balance is also caused by factors such as surgical trauma and stress. Therefore, enteral nutrition has become a nutritional support method for patients with esophageal cancer. To promote better development in the field of enteral nutrition research for patients with esophageal cancer, this article summarizes the research status in this field through literature review and data access. It elaborates from aspects such as the nutritional status of patients, enteral nutrition pathways, and the timing of implementing enteral nutrition, summarizes its advantages and disadvantages, promotes further development in this field, and provides more effective and safe enteral nutrition plans for patients with esophageal cancer.
