This trial tests whether intensive nutritional support helps patients with advanced esophageal cancer (a type of squamous cell carcinoma) respond better to treatment before surgery. The goal is to improve how well the cancer shrinks and prepare the body for a successful operation.
This trial tests whether a special medical nutrition drink can help people with advanced gastrointestinal cancer (stomach, colon, liver, pancreas, or esophagus) tolerate their first chemotherapy or immunotherapy better and stay healthier during treatment. You'll drink the nutrition supplement alongside your regular cancer treatment and have blood tests to see how it affects your body's response.
This trial tests whether extra nutrition support during chemotherapy or radiation therapy helps patients with esophageal cancer who are scheduled for surgery. It aims to improve strength and recovery before and after the operation.
This study tests whether a special medical nutrition (a drink/food meant for people who need medical nutrition) given around the time of surgery helps patients with gastrointestinal cancer recover better. It aims to see if this nutrition approach is safe and beneficial when cancer is being removed.
This study tests whether starting nutrition support early can help people with advanced lung, colorectal, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer feel better during their first chemotherapy. If you qualify, you would get extra guidance on eating well right from the start of treatment.
