Parenteral nutrition (PN) is indicated in patients with a dysfunctional GI tract, but the role of PN in patients' survival is still controversial. The present study was retrospectively conducted to verify if there are any long\u2010term survivors living for more than 1 year after initiation of PN without food or drink in patients with malignant GI tract obstruction resulting from advanced cancers. <jats:italic>Methods:<\/jats:italic> One hundred fifteen adult patients with malignant GI obstruction were identified over a 6\u2010year period at a palliative\u2010care setting. Their median age was 51 years (range, 31\u201374 years), and 62 (54%) were women and 53 men (46%). All selected patients had malignant GI tract obstruction and started PN treatment after cessation of energy intake to time of death. Survival expectancy as a criterion was analyzed in all patients. <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> The median time from initiation of PN to death was 6.5 months. Eleven patients survived \u22651 year and 2 patients have been alive for almost 4 years later after cessation of energy intake. <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> PN can be expected to obtain a longer survival for the patient with GI tract obstruction caused by advanced cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0148607107031006508","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,14]],"date-time":"2008-05-14T19:51:26Z","timestamp":1210794686000},"page":"508-510","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["Parenteral Nutrition Prolongs the Survival of Patients Associated With Malignant Gastrointestinal Obstruction"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Bo\u2010Guang","family":"Fan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/PNS2004377"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nut.2004.05.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2004.02.056"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0148607197021006339"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0148607191015003323"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","first-page":"985","article-title":"Standards, options and recommendations: nutritional support in palliative or terminal care of adult patients with progressive cancer","volume":"88","author":"Bachmann P","year":"2001","journal-title":"Bull Cancer."},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.286.5.563"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ygyno.2006.02.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.160.6.861"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0885-3924(96)00269-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.20824"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0148607106030003222"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncr.20160"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00075197-200105000-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/clnu.2002.0560"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0899-9007(99)00118-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s005200000198"}],"container-title":["Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0148607107031006508","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0148607107031006508","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/aspenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0148607107031006508","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T11:16:22Z","timestamp":1760872582000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aspenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0148607107031006508"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,11]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0148607107031006508"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0148607107031006508","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0148-6071","1941-2444"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0148-6071","type":"print"},{"value":"1941-2444","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,11]]}}}
