Description
Mao Chen and colleagues present a 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis of enteral immunonutrition, tube feeding enriched with immune-supporting nutrients, for people having stomach cancer surgery. Standard tube feeding served as the comparison.
Nineteen randomised trials with 1,653 patients were pooled from searches running to December 2025. The enriched feeding cut infectious complications, with an odds ratio of 0.48 reported for that outcome, and also lowered total complications and gut intolerance. Hospital stay shortened by about a day and a quarter, antibody levels improved, and inflammation markers fell. Benefits looked strongest when feeding spanned the operation and lasted seven to ten days, though the authors rate the certainty of evidence as only moderate.
