Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of early enteral and parenteral nutrition therapy on nutritional status and immunoregulatory function in senile patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods The single center prospective randomized controlled study was employed. A total of 86 elderly patients with gastrointestinal cancer undergoing radical resection were randomly divided into early enteral parenteral nutrition group (EEN+PN group) and total parenteral nutrition group (TPN group), according to 1:1, with 43 cases in each group. The two groups were treated with nutritional therapy on the first day after operation respectively. The nutritional indicators and immune function improvement of patients on the seventh day after operation were observed, and postoperative recovery was recorded. Results Compared with TPN group, the nutritional index and immune function of patients in EEN+PN group recovered quickly, and the cost of nutrition treatment was low. The time of first exhaust was earlier, and the incidence of postoperative infection was low. There were statistical difference in the above indexes were dtetcted between the two groups (P＜0.05). Conclusion Early enteral nutrition combined with parenteral nutrition therapy has an important role in the rapid recovery of postoperative elderly patients with gastrointestinal tumor.
