 Total Parenteral Nutrition
The role of TPN is as an adjuvant therapy.
Given the differing approaches to TPN therapy, cancer type, and status of malnutrition, meta-analysis is unsuitable for evaluation of preoperative and postoperative cancer surgery.
Sikora and colleagues observed that TPN facilitates standard chemotherapy along with concomitant radiation therapy (CRT) administration in esophageal cancer patients (1998).

 Home TPN
Use of long-term intravenous nutrition in the home setting with continuation of medical care has been shown to induce remission in as many as 50 to 60 percent of patients, avoiding the risks of extensive surgery and preserving intestinal function.
If a patient has not yet accepted his or her illness, or dealt with the anger of intestinal loss, he or she cannot devote the necessary attention to learn or execute the complex techniques of home total parenteral nutrition and the process of training should be postponed.
In some instances the extended life derived from intravenous nutrition, if any, is of miserable quality, and the requirements of home care are burdensome to the patient and loved ones.

Total parenteral nutrition, an ally in the management of patients with intestinal failure and malnutrition: a long-term view.
The research efforts of Dr. Rhoads and his colleagues in addressing and remedying nutritional obstacles in surgical patients, including hypoproteinemia and infused-volume constraints, helped pave the way toward the collaborative development of total parenteral nutrition and elevated surgical practice of modern-day medicine.
Despite the key role of nutrition in health and the almost universal use of supplemental feeding in the ICU, there is a lack of high-quality evidence to guide clinical practice.

 Healthcare at Home - Total Parenteral Nutrition, TPN
There is a wealth of evidence that home based TPN services do provide a safe, clinically effective and cost efficient alternative to hospital care for a wide range of chronic and acute conditions, and is now well-established for the treatment of many conditions such as cystic fibrosis and AIDS.
The majority of patients on TPN are either self-caring or are children whose parents are trained to administer treatment.
A community intravenous therapy service offers both the patient and the hospital the option to have parenteral drugs administered at home, rather than undergoing hospital admission and stay for the same treatment.
