Description
Liping Yang, Lihua Yang, Ling Yang, and three colleagues compare two feeding routes after stomach cancer surgery in this two thousand twenty-five review and meta-analysis. Surgery is the curative treatment for gastric cancer, but poor nutrition after surgery slows recovery. Whether feeding through a vein or through the gut works better was unclear. The authors searched four databases for trials run at random, up to August two thousand twenty-five.
Nine trials qualified, with six hundred forty patients in each arm and mostly moderate risk of bias. Hospital stay was longer with gut feeding by about three and a half days. Albumin ran higher with gut feeding on days one and eight, while prealbumin ran higher with vein feeding. Retinol-binding protein showed no clear gap. The mixed results show the contrast is not one-sided, though the stay finding favors the vein route.
