Feeding tube before cancer surgery may cut risks
NCT ID NCT07584577
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving extra nutrition through a feeding tube before surgery can lower the chance of complications in malnourished people with esophageal or stomach cancer. About 670 participants will be followed to compare those who get nutritional support with those who do not. The goal is to find out if this approach improves recovery after surgery.
