Nutritional Support in Cancer and Transplant Patients (Medical Intelligence Unit)
Rifat Latifi, Ronald C. Merrell
Since both cancer and transplant patients suffer physiologic insults which leave them malnourished, cachectic and severely ill, they are included in the rank of the critically ill patient. Nutrition support of critically ill patients has entered a new era of nutri-pharmaceutics. This has occurred because of our recent knowledge regarding the role of the gut in immunity and the role of nutrient substrates in modifying the immune response after severe injury. This book addresses optimal nutrition support and management in cancer and transplant patients.
