Brief Summary in Lay Language
In this study, the treatment of malnourished cancer patients with artificial nutrition via infusion with industrially produced all-in-one mixtures and conventional injections (micronutrients, vitamins, trace elements, electrolytes) is observed in medical routine. In this case, the attending physician is not given any guidelines for the choice of therapy. It is investigated whether the therapy of these patients is improved by artificial nutrition.
Brief Summary in Scientific Language
In this non-interventional study, the treatment of malnourished cancer patients with home parenteral nutrition with industrially produced all-in-one mixtures and usual injections (micronutrients, vitamins, trace elements, electrolytes) is observed in medical routine.

Interventions/Observational Groups
- Malnourished cancer patients under home parenteral nutrition therapy are regularly asked about their subjective perception of their quality of life over a period of up to 6 months using the WHO QOL BREF questionnaire. In parallel, further parameters such as blood values, SGA and manual force measurement are collected.

Primary Outcome
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficiency of home parenteral nutrition.
in malnourished tumor patients in the medical routine.
The primary parameter for determining the efficiency of therapy is the development of the
Quality of life, assessed by comparing values to quality of life over time of a year, based on the baseline at the start of therapy.
Secondary Outcome
The main secondary objectives of the study are the safety of therapy, determined by the frequency of port complications, the improvement of clinical parameters such as the stabilization of the weight or weight gain and stabilization of the Body Mass Index (BMI) or increase in BMI, the execution of chemotherapy without deviation in the case of standard dosages and therapy intervals measured by the dose intensity, the preservation or improvement of the patient's performance, the improvement of the general condition and the number of serious adverse events.
