[Loco-regional chemotherapy at the outpatient clinic for gastric cancer patients with home enteral nutrition].

In over the 10 years from 2000-2010, 21 gastric cancer patients received loco-regional chemotherapy with home enteral nutrition (HEN) at an outpatient clinic because of insufficient oral intake.
