ESPEN (European Society of Clinical Nutrition) guidelines on enteral nutrition (EN) provide evidence based recommendations for oral
nutrition supplements (ONS) and tube feeding strategies in cancer patients. They were developed by an interdisciplinary expert group
in accordance with officially accepted standards and are based on all relevant publications since 1985. They were discussed and accepted
in a consensus-conference. The aim of Guidelines on parenteral nutrition (PN) is to provide evidence based recommendations for a usage
of parenteral nutrition in cancer patients. They were developed in the same way as Guidelines on EN and many conclusions are the same.
