The digestive system extends from the mouth to the anus, and its role is to receive and break down food, absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, and remove indigestible parts of food from the body. Digestion begins in the mouth, but when this natural course is hindered or prevented by a certain disease and when the oral way of feeding has to be bypassed, there are two more options that can satisfy a person's basic need for food. These are enteral and parenteral nutrition The aim of this paper is to show the possibilities of enteral nutrition for patients with malignant esophageal disease,as well as the activities that nurses undertake in feeding patients and health care of stoma intended for nutrition. Malignant diseases of the esophagus is one of the deadliest malignant diseases in the world and is often diagnosed only in advanced stages due to the lack of early clinical symptoms. First, there are difficulties in swallowing solid, then semi-solid, and finally liquid food and saliva itself. When it is not possible to feed the patient by mouth, the next step is feeding with enteral nutrition through a tube, so the patient is placed with a nasogastric tube through which food is applied directly into the stomach. Of course, this cannot be a permanent solution, and the disease usually progresses and requires the placement of a percutaneous gastrostomy or jejunostomy. Although the appetite may be good, weight loss is almost always pronounced, so nutritional support with enteral and parenteral preparations is extremely important for these patients. Depending on the type and location of the stoma, the composition and type of enteral preparations differ, which will be elaborated in detail in this paper.
