title: [Nutritional therapy using tubes and pumps in cancer patients].
abstract: The success in the therapy of patients suffering from malignant tumours is among others depending on nutritional treatment. If correctly indicated, the enteral nutrition is more economic, complication reduced, easier to maintain and a biologically optimal alternative method to the parenteral nutrition. Nutritional solutions via tube have to be given continuously or intermittently. For that purpose a pump had been developed meeting certain special requirements. It is reported on the technique of an electronically controlled, partly net independently working pump.
