Objective To study the effective evaluation of short peptide enteral nutrition powder in advanced digestive tract cancer. Methods 50 cases of advanced digestive tract cancer were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group(short peptide enteral nutrition powder) and control group(routine treatment). Results Data regarding to nutritional status and immune function (WT/IBW, TSF, MANC, ALB, TRF, PA, lgG, lgM, IgA, C3, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8) showed a significant difference between experimental group and control group after two weeks's treatment,as well as between before and after two weeks's treatment in experimental group(P <0.05). Conclusion Short peptide enteral nutrition powder maintenance is beneficial to improve the nutritional status and the immune function of patients with advanced cancer and to promote their life quality.
