SUMMARY
One third of the gastric cancer patients are the old and senior age patients. After surgery complications are more common in patients of this age category. The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of providing nutritional support in that age group of patients. The study included 75 patients over 60 years of age who were treated in the abdominal oncology department of the National Oncology Center between 2021 and 2024. Patients were divided into 2 groups, main and control. In the postoperative period intraabdominal and respiratory system complications were noted in 14,3% of in the main group and 25,6% in the control group. Based on the results of the conducted research, nutritional support can be recommended as an important component of treatment in the pre-and early post-operative period of gastric cancer patients.
