Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of digestive tract, and surgical excision is the only way to extend the lifetime of patients with gastric cancer. Malnutrition is a common complication after such surgery, which affects patients' rehabilitation greatly. Nutritional support is, therefore, crucial to patients with gastric cancer after surgery. Early oral feeding, as the most preferred way of nutritional support after surgery, can not only improve patients' nutritional state, but also keep intestinal mucosa intact and accelerate the recovery of their gastrointestinal function. Hence, this paper summarizes the characteristics and demands of nutrient metabolism, the time, type and feasibility of early oral feeding, the effect on gastrointestinal function as well as the effect on postoperative complications in patients with gastric cancer after surgical excision. Key words: Review; Gastric neoplasms; Gastrectomy; Early oral feeding
