NCT01669356

Brief Summary

Malnutrition is common in esophagus cancer patients, especially after surgery therapy. Whether parenteral supplement with enteral nutrtion is benificial for patients after esophagectomy is controversial, when compared with enteral nutrition alone. In this study, the investigators are to examine the effect of enteral nutrition supplemented with parenteral nutrtion on nutrition status after esophagectomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • postoperative laboratory parameters changes for nutrition assessment compared to preoperation

    plasma albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, retinaldehyde-binding protein, total lymphocytes counts

    from one day before surgery to the 7th postoperative day

  • postoperative body composition change compared to preoperation measurement

    postoperative body composition is compared to preoperation, bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy is used for measurement of body composition

    from one day before surgery to the 7th postoperative day

Other Outcomes (1)

  • complicatons incidence after surgery

    28 days after surgery
