- Treating Cancer Patients - Prescription Nutrition - Each year, some 100,000 cancer patients die from malnutrition in German hospitals - a little-known statistic. They end up starving to death following surgery on the stomach, colon or pancreas, because their bodies can no longer absorb enough nutrients from the food they eat. Nutritional medicine specialists have found a solution: liquid diets are prepared according to each patient's individual dietary needs. That can then be fed to the patient through a central line in a vein, bypassing the digestive tract.
