Abstract:
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is one of the malignant tumors with a high incidence in China. The main pathological anatomy is the obstruction of the diseased esophagus. Nutritional disorders and a series of relevant pathophysiological changes are the main factors affec-ting the safe implementation of treatment and the long-term survival of patients. Therefore, timely correction of nutritional disorders is the main component of treatment. The ideal treatment for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is induction systemic treatment followed by surgery. The outstanding problems in clinical management of esophageal carcinoma are that only short-term attention is paid to postoperative nutrition support, ignoring preoperative nutrition along with the major anticancer treatment, the rehabilitation of patients' swallowing function after surgery, as well as nutrition and weight management. The author reviews the unique role of tube feeding with element enteral nutrition during the whole course of treatment of esophageal cancer, in order to provide reference for its standardized management.
