Using enteral (tube) feeding as recommended for adults with cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study at Institut Curie will review adult medical oncology inpatients for whom enteral nutrition is indicated and record whether care follows French HAS and SFNCM recommendations. Investigators will collect clinical and laboratory data, documentation of nutrition decisions, and the use of oral nutritional supplements versus enteral feeding during hospitalization. The protocol excludes minors, patients receiving end-of-life palliative care, those under legal protection, and patients who do not speak French. Results will be compared with prior audits (for example ADHENUTE) to identify gaps, barriers, and opportunities to improve guideline adherence.
