Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of nutritional therapy with Kabiven PI and ω-3 fish oil fat emulsion on advanced stage of malignant tumor.

Methods

Results

The ECOG ≥ 3 of 103 cases, therapy interval 2–3 weeks, declined 1 score. 28 were performed with chemotherapeutics under nutritional therapy 2–4 periodical. 25 of 26 died were dead for cancer cachexia and multiple organ failure.
