Can a care checklist speed up recovery from lung cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT07785791
First seen Aug 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether closely following a standard enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol affects nutritional status in 120 adults undergoing lung cancer surgery. Researchers will measure nutritional risk and a nutritional index before surgery and two days after, and also track hospital stay and complications. The goal is to see if higher adherence to the protocol is linked to better nutritional recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) perioperative care protocol
- What this could lead to
- If following the ERAS protocol closely improves nutritional recovery after lung cancer surgery, it could help refine standard care to reduce complications and shorten hospital stays.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can show links but not prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by factors like patient health or surgeon skill, and the findings may not apply to all lung cancer patients.
