Immunonutrition in Patients with Colon Cancer
Luis Sánchez‐Guillén, Antonio Arroyo
Abstract
approximately USD$1000-3000 was saved per patient treated with preoperative oral supplements, based on the reduction of LOS and the decrease in infectious complications. This supports the use of preoperative immunonutrition, as it seems to be an effective cost measure in patients, resulting in overall reduction of hospital expenses "
