Abstract

The use of Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) in patients (pts) with advanced cancer, who cannot meet their nutritional requirements by oral or enteral routes, remains controversial with significant variation worldwide. Our aim was to review data from literature and identify the potential benefit of HPN in pts with advanced cancer. Articles on HPN in advanced cancer from 2002 to 2016 were searched in Pubmed. The primary end point was survival, secondary end points were quality of life (QoL) and nutritional/performance (Karnofsky score, KPS) status.
