How stomach surgery affects gut bacteria and your thinking
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how having stomach cancer surgery changes your gut bacteria and thinking abilities. Researchers want to understand if these changes affect memory or brain function after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
