Core Tip

Core Tip: Effective enteral nutrition support holds utmost significance for tumor patients. In particular, those diagnosed with gastrointestinal tumors often face challenges like malabsorption due to their condition. Adequate enteral nutrition not only provides essential nutrients to maintain strength but also helps boost the immune system, enabling patients to better endure cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
