Abstract
To investigate the clinical effects of early enteral nutrition on esophageal cancer and gastric cardia cancer after operation. A total of 68 patients with esophageal cancer and gastric cardia cancer were randomized divided into intestinal nutrition (EN) and parenteral nutrition groups (PN).The serum biochemistry and the immunity level were examined the first, fifth, eighth days after operation. The nutrition, digestive tract, the gastrointestinal tract functions and complications after operation were observed. Result the nutrition indexes and immunity function both raised after 8 days’ treatment. The immunity level in EN group was significant higher than that in PN group with t=2.12,P0.05.It took obviously shorter times of exhaust reactivate in EN group than in PN group with t=2.36,P0.05, and there were no serious complications in EN group. The early enteral nutrition after operation is more effective than parenteral nutrition. It may ameliorate the state of nutrition.
