Eighty-six hospitalizations with a Parenteral Nutrition prescription were analyzed. Gynecological and digestive tumors were the two main tumor localization. Bowel obstruction and palliative care management were the two main reasons for hospitalization.
Our logic that the risks of long-term parenteral nutrition have decreased over time, the burden for individual children and their parents may be less than imagined, and the benefit is a realistic prospect.
This literature review identifies, categorizes and explores the ethical foundations and reasons for clinician hesitancy about the use of long-term parenteral nutrition in this population.

The aim of the study was to analyze the changes that occurred in the criteria for choosing the access route to artificial nutrition during 30 years of activity of a nutritional service team in a palliative home care setting, as well as to compare indications, clinical nutritional outcomes, and
complications between home enteral nutrition and home parenteral nutrition.
The study aims to describe the criteria for identifying the cancer patients that could benefit from home artificial nutrition and to evaluate its impact on survival and performance status.

The aim of this review is to know the current status in the management of Enteral Nutrition by nasogastric tube in patients under palliative care, and its effect in their wellbeing and quality of life.
This study aims to identify patients considered refractory cachexia which may include cachectic patients with starvation, and to evaluate the effect of nutritional intervention for them.
