Summary
This study looked at whether giving well-nourished patients with gastrointestinal cancer a special nutrition drink for just 3 days before surgery could lower the chance of complications after the operation. The trial planned to enroll 107 people but was stopped early. The goal was to see if a shorter pre-surgery nutrition plan could still improve recovery.
