Description
"Enteral and parenteral nutrition can be imperative in the advanced
disease state, but at times nutrition support does not produce any
significant benefit to the patient and ethical issues may arise. This
thought-provoking workshop will review case presentations and
highlight ethical issues and considerations of nutrition therapy in
patients with advanced disease."
