The early development of total parenteral nutrition and its evolution as an adjunct to the nutritional, metabolic, and antineoplastic therapy of cancer patients is described. Examples related to the sine wave of responses to new data and discovery are placed in context to understand better past, present, and how and where to proceed in the future to achieve optimal results from multimodal comprehensive management of patients with malignancies. Practical and philosophic thoughts are proffered to justify continued, intensified, logical, controlled clinical studies directed toward establishing the most rational, safe, and effective use of total parenteral nutrition in treating patients with cancer.

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients often receive consecutive intensive chemotherapy, which can lead to gastrointestinal complications and acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), placing patients at high nutritional risk.
Aim: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the benefits of nutritional support in maintaining nutritional status, reducing weight loss without increasing the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) or liver dysfunction, and improving clinical outcomes in HSCT patients at high nutritional risk.
Methods: A total of 526 patients who underwent HSCT were included in the study.

Introduction: Intravenous iron sucrose (IVIS) is a rapidly acting, safe, and effective treatment for moderate anemia among pregnant women. The effectiveness of IVIS at 6 months post IVIS infusion was unknown. We, therefore, assessed the mean increase in hemoglobin concentration and body iron replenishment status at 6 months after the last dose of IVIS infusion.
