Summary

This study tests a 'peri-habilitation' program for 30 gastric cancer patients aged 65 and older. Participants receive nutrition education and protein-enriched soy milk for two weeks before surgery, plus exercise training and continued nutrition support for three weeks after leaving the hospital. The goal is to see if this approach prevents complications and speeds up recovery, measured by walking speed, balance, and strength tests.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nutrition education with protein-enriched soy milk supplement and exercise training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a simple program of nutrition and exercise helps older gastric cancer patients recover faster and have fewer complications after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires patients to be healthy enough to exercise, which may not be possible for all.
