III.-IV. stage, protein-calorie malnourished, pharyngolaryngeal tumorous patients were artificially fed perioperatively. Protein source (soya-protein concentrate, TOFU-soya-protein-cottage cheese) manufactured in Hungary, was administered in enteral feeding through naso-gastric tube. The metabolism, transport and utility of the soya-based diet were investigated by biochemical methods and compared to the previously administered tube-feeding. The method is advised on the base of the favourable experiences of the authors.
