NCT ID NCT07493876

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a structured recovery plan called ERAS helps people recover faster after surgery for cancer that has spread in the abdomen. About 300 patients across 20 Italian hospitals will be followed. The plan includes steps before, during, and after surgery to reduce stress and speed healing. The main goal is to see if it shortens hospital stays.

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) protocol
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a standardized care pathway reduces hospital stays and complications for patients undergoing major abdominal cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study comparing before-and-after care, not a randomized trial. Results may not prove the protocol itself causes improvement, and individual patient factors vary widely.
