What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
perioperative multimodal rehabilitation program (exercise, nutrition, and psychological support) delivered via smartphone platform
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to improve recovery and reduce complications after gastric cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not be generalizable. Adherence to the program could be low, and the smartphone platform may not work for all patients.
