Parenteral nutrition with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on nutrition inflammatory and immune status of gastrointestinal cancer patients: Meta-analysis

It promotes immune function recovery, reduces the inflammatory response, and decreases the risk of adverse effects. These beneficial effects make it worth investigating and promoting their use in appropriate patient populations. However, further validation <i>via</i> high-quality studies with long intervention time and extended follow-up periods is required.
