Background: Perioperative usage of immunonutrition can attenuate the pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce postoperative infectious complications and length of hospital stay after major upper gastrointestinal surgery. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of immunomodulating diets, ANOM®, on surgical outcome in elective major upper gastrointestinal tract operations. Material and Methods: Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Participants: Seventy upper gastrointestinal tract cancer patients planned to undergo major upper gastrointestinal surgery in eesophagus、stomach、pancreas or duodenum, Interventions: Patients will be divided randomly into two groups to receive ANOM® or standard diet.
