Gut boost for cancer patients: can fiber and probiotics improve survival?

NCT ID NCT07194954

Summary

This study tested whether adding a daily mix of dietary fiber and probiotics to standard nutritional support could improve outcomes for malnourished patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Over 12 weeks, researchers compared the supplement to standard nutrition alone, looking at changes in gut bacteria, immune function, nutrition, and quality of life. The goal was to see if supporting gut health could help patients better tolerate their cancer treatments and potentially improve their prognosis.
