Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and security of early enteral nutrition (EN) on patients with gastric cancer after radical operation. Methods Seventy cases who treated in Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from Dec. 2008 to Apr. 2013 were randomly divided into EN group (n=35) and parenteral nutrition (PN) group (n=35), analysis and comparison of nutrition indicators and recovery indicators between 2 groups were performed. Results There were no significant differences on levels of count of white blood cell (WBC), serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), and transferring (TRF) before operation between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). On 3 and 7 days after operation, the levels of ALB, PA, and TRF were all higher in EN group (P < 0.05) besides level of count of WBC. In addition, hospital stay and hospitalization cost were both lower in EN group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference on postoperative exhaust time and complication incidence (P > 0.05). Conclusions EN is a safe, effective, and economical method of nutritional supplements, and it is a preferred method of nutritional support for patients with advanced gastric cancer after operation at prophase, which is worthy to apply widely in clinical.
