Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-center, unblinded, prospective observational study, and the objective is to compare the effects of enteral nutrition via nasojejunal tube and parenteral nutrition via vein on patients' early recovery and prognosis who undergo tumor cytoreduction for ovarian cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal disease among gynecological malignancies, and its treatment is a comprehensive one mainly based on surgery. The perioperative nutritional status of patients affects their postoperative recovery, subsequent adjuvant therapy, and their prognosis. Hence, nutritional support therapy should be initiated for such patients in the early postoperative period to prevent further malnutrition. Conventional postoperative nutritional support therapy is performed through parenteral nutrition via vein, while the application of enteral nutrition via the nasojejunal tube in the postoperative period of ovarian cancer has not been reported in the literature. Therefore, in this study, the investigators took advantage of the characteristics of long surgical incisions and the wide surgical scope of ovarian cancer to investigate the effects of placing a nasojejunal tube during the operation and early enteral nutrition on postoperative recovery and prognosis in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, with the aim of accelerating the postoperative recovery of the patients, decreasing the incidence of postoperative complications, supplementing adjuvant chemotherapy in time, improving the survival outcome of the patients with advanced ovarian cancer, and providing gynecologists with a basis for enteral nutritional support therapy via nasojejunal tube after ovarian cancer surgery. In this study, the patients placed with a nasojejunal tube during the operation and enteral nutrition after the operation were included in the observation group, and the patients without a nasojejunal tube and parenteral nutrition after the operation were included in the control group. And the two groups were compared in terms of the indicators of postoperative recovery, the incidence of complications within the 30 days after operation, the cost of hospitalization, hospital stay, the interval between the operation and the first chemotherapy, the survival outcome, etc. The data involved in the study came from patient files, hospital databases, and long-term follow-up results. ;
