Abstract

The care of cancer patients at the end-of-life represents a clinical challenge and an ethical and moral dilemma. Establishing follow-up strategies for the patient and his or her family, or the nutritional strategies to undertake is not easy. The objective of this review is to analyze theoretical aspects defined in the literature on the definition of end-of-life and the nutritional management strategies for cancer patients obtained from the experience of the Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Service at Méderi Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia.
