Abstract

The manuscript presents the second part of recommendations on enteral and parenteral nutrition in oncology. It describes indications, methods of intervention, types of diets and techniques for monitoring. The enteral nutrition (EN) is a method of choice for nutritional support, hence it should be always considered as the first step, whenever the latter is necessary. The beneficial effect of EN was demonstrated in many clinical studies.
