PALL-04. EVALUATION OF PROACTIVE AND RESCUE ENTERAL TUBE FEEDINGS IN CHILDREN UNDERGOING TREATMENT FOR MEDULLOBLASTOMA AND SUPRATENTORIAL PNET A SINGLE INSTITUTION RETROSPECTIVE CHART REVIEW

摘要

BACKGROUNDMedulloblastoma and supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors (sPNET) require aggressive treatment to ensure the best chance of cure. Malnutrition, a common treatment complication, is associated with increased morbidity. Children’s Minnesota initiated proactive enteral tube feedings (ETF) in patients undergoing treatment for medulloblastoma/sPNET in 2005 for infants (<3 years) and in 2011 for children (≥3 years) with the goal of maintaining weight throughout treatment.
