Omega-3 nutrition before lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special nutrition drink with omega-3 (a healthy fat found in fish) can help people recover better after lung cancer surgery. You may qualify if you are about to have lung removal surgery.

This trial tests whether a special nutrition supplement (rich in EPA, an omega-3 fat) can help people with advanced lung or colorectal cancer who are losing weight. It aims to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life.
This trial compares two types of nutritional supplements given to patients before cancer surgery. One is a special mix that boosts the immune system, and the other is rich in omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA). The goal is to see which one helps patients recover better after surgery.
This trial tests an omega-3 enriched nutritional drink taken before surgery to see if it improves recovery and outcomes in patients having cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis. The drink might help reduce inflammation and support healing.
