New recovery protocol aims to get stomach cancer patients home sooner

NCT ID NCT06984952

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a special recovery plan (ERAS) helps people recover faster after minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery. The plan includes education before surgery, shorter fasting, early eating and walking, and less use of strong painkillers. Researchers will track how many patients meet discharge criteria, such as eating soft food and walking 600 meters, compared to standard care.

Active substance

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a standard care plan that helps patients leave the hospital sooner after stomach cancer surgery.

This is a relatively small trial (308 people) testing a care process, not a new drug. The results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.
