[Better Effect of Home Night Enteral Nutrition in an Elderly Patient Following Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy for Advanced Gastric Cancer].

Postoperative low nutrition, body weight loss and poor QOL are pivotal clinical issues for elderly patients following total gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Here, we report a successfully treated high-risk elderly case using home night enteral nutrition and adjuvant chemotherapy following laparoscopic total gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Home night enteral nutrition might not impair oral intake and daily QOL, and could be a useful treatment strategy for elderly patients following total gastrectomy.
