Therapies and Procedures

1. Drug Therapy (Chemotherapy)
2. Enteral Nutrition (Feeding, Tube)
3. Palliative Care (Palliative Medicine)
4. Total Parenteral Nutrition
01/01/1993 - "Total parenteral nutrition can also sustain meaningful life for many terminally ill patients, but it is rarely successful in alleviating the anorexia associated with terminal illness."
04/01/1984 - "Total parenteral nutrition resulted in a significant positive net energy balance, but in follow-up was associated with prolonged anorexia and a negative energy balance. "
07/01/1980 - "Nutritional therapy, especially in patients with superimposed illnesses and associated anorexia, may be enhanced by the use of formula feedings, tube feedings, and, if necessary, total parenteral nutrition."
10/15/1986 - "These myths include the following: by following the cancer prevention dietary guidelines, protection against cancer is guaranteed; if only the victim had eaten differently, the cancer never would have developed; cancer prevention dietary guidelines also should be followed in the nutritional support of cancer patients; cancer patients can rely on their appetites and hidden hungers to stay in good nutritional balance; special diets can cure cancer; all cancer anorexia can now be reversed by following proper diet; children who have cancer should neither be fed nor can they eat diets similar to those fed to other children at that age; special nutritional support measures such as tube feeding and total parenteral nutrition are only useful for those younger than 65 years; and there is no sense in paying attention to the nutrition of cancer patients in hospices because they are going to die anyway. "
09/01/1986 - "Seventeen patients with advanced, noncurable gastrointestinal cancer with symptoms of anorexia and malnutrition were treated with controlled enteral or total parenteral nutrition over a 3-week period. "

5. Nutritional Support (Artificial Feeding)
01/01/1987 - "Anorexia is of prime importance, differing in its cause from one patient to another and often presenting a barrier to successful nutritional support. "
10/01/2001 - "Supplemental enteral feeds using a gastrostomy tube (G-tube) are commonly used for nutritional support to overcome the barrier posed by anorexia. "
05/01/2004 - "Early intervention and nutritional support may be helpful in preventing anorexia and further weight loss. "
10/15/1986 - "These myths include the following: by following the cancer prevention dietary guidelines, protection against cancer is guaranteed; if only the victim had eaten differently, the cancer never would have developed; cancer prevention dietary guidelines also should be followed in the nutritional support of cancer patients; cancer patients can rely on their appetites and hidden hungers to stay in good nutritional balance; special diets can cure cancer; all cancer anorexia can now be reversed by following proper diet; children who have cancer should neither be fed nor can they eat diets similar to those fed to other children at that age; special nutritional support measures such as tube feeding and total parenteral nutrition are only useful for those younger than 65 years; and there is no sense in paying attention to the nutrition of cancer patients in hospices because they are going to die anyway. "
02/15/1992 - "Related problems included anorexia and severe weight loss, which necessitated enteral nutritional support, dehydration, renal disease, and nosocomial Pseudomonas aeruginosa urocystitis."
