Can a 3-Day nutritional boost before cancer surgery reduce complications?
NCT ID NCT01023412
Summary
This study tested whether drinking a special nutritional formula for just 3 days before gastrointestinal cancer surgery could help reduce complications after the operation. Researchers compared this short-term nutrition plan to a standard drink in well-nourished patients to see if it could lower infection rates and shorten hospital stays. The goal was to find a simpler, shorter pre-surgery routine that might still provide benefits.
