Family power: exercise and nutrition program may cut surgery complications in stomach cancer
NCT ID NCT07183358
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a family-supervised program combining exercise, nutrition advice, and psychological support can reduce complications after stomach cancer surgery. About 90 adults who will receive chemotherapy before surgery are randomly assigned to either the program plus usual care or usual care alone. The main goal is to see if the program lowers the rate of serious problems like infections or bleeding within 30 days after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- family-supervised multimodal prehabilitation (exercise, nutrition, and psychological support)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could help gastric cancer patients recover faster and have fewer serious complications after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is behavioral, so its benefits depend on patient adherence and family support.
