Why is Enteral Nutrition Important in Cancer Patients?
Cancer and its treatments can significantly affect a patient's ability to consume and absorb nutrients. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, taste changes, and difficulty swallowing. Enteral nutrition helps ensure that patients receive the necessary macronutrients and micronutrients to support their immune system, improve their treatment response, and enhance their quality of life.
