Nutrition therapy for people having chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special nutrition program can help people with pancreatic cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery. The program includes diet changes, supplements, and exercise support to see if it improves strength, weight, and overall well-being.
