One shot could halve surgery complications for cancer patients
NCT ID NCT03875690
Summary
This large study is testing if a single, high dose of steroids given right before surgery can help patients recover better from operations for digestive cancers like colon or pancreatic cancer. The goal is to reduce harmful inflammation that can lead to serious complications and longer hospital stays. Researchers will compare the steroid shot against a placebo in 1,200 patients to see if it safely lowers the risk of major problems after surgery.
