Blood test could catch dangerous surgical leaks before they become emergencies
NCT ID NCT03097276
Summary
This pilot study tested a new system to catch dangerous internal leaks early after colon cancer surgery. Researchers monitored patients' CRP (a marker of inflammation in the blood) in the days after their operation. If CRP levels were high, doctors followed a specific plan to quickly check for a leak and start treatment sooner, aiming to reduce hospital stays and complications.
