Brief Summary

Immunomodulating enteral nutrition in the perioperative period may reduce postoperative complications in cancer patients. Little is known if this effect translates to the better survival. The aim of study was to assess the impact of postoperative immunomodulating enteral nutrition on postoperative complications and survival of gastric cancer patients. The group of 98 gastric cancer patients were randomly assigned for postoperative immunomodulating enteral nutrition n=44 (Reconvan ,Fresenius Kabi), or standard enteral nutrition n=54 (Peptisorb, Nutricia). Postoperative complications, mortality, 6-month, 1-year and 5-year survival were analyzed.
