Total parenteral nutrition and home parenteral nutrition: an effective combination to sustain malnourished children with cancer
Nutr Rev.
1999 Jan.
Abstract
A patient with Wilms' tumor and severe failure to thrive required total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for "catch-up" growth. This case underscores how TPN might be useful in the management of a child with cancer. Cancer cachexia, chemotherapy, radiation, and infections caused by immune suppression can lead to potentially serious macro- and micronutrient deficiencies.
