17 State of the art: Most RCTs in cancer patients have been performed in patiens in whom there was no indication for nutrition support The intervention was inefficient (oral), or added to adequate intake (oral & PN) The conclusion that PN in cancer patients is useless and probably harmful is valid only if PN is used as an adjunct to patients who are not malnourished/hypophagic The major end-points investigated (survival, reponse to therapy) may not be sensitive to nutrition support Some RCTs show an effect on minor end-points incl QoL
