Role of Parenteral Nutrition in Cancer Patients Undergoing High-Dose Chemotherapy Followed by Autologous Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cell Transplantation
Keyword(s):

Patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy are traditionally supported with parenteral nutrition with the aim to prevent malnutrition secondary to gastrointestinal toxicity and metabolic alterations induced by the conditioning regimens.
