Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether certain natural compounds (like those in almonds or special fish-oil derivatives) can help your body fight cancer before surgery. You'll take one of these supplements for a few weeks before your operation.

This trial tests whether taking a nutritional supplement before and after surgery can help patients with colorectal cancer recover better after their operation. It may improve nutrition and healing, but we need to check if you are eligible first.
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 tests whether taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements during breast cancer treatment can change the way tumors use fats, potentially making treatment more effective. It is for people with early-stage invasive breast cancer who are about to start neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery).
This trial tests an “integrative” support program around the time of cancer surgery to see if it improves care and outcomes for people having surgery for lung, stomach, or esophagus cancer. It may help by adding extra structured support during the peri-operative (around-surgery) period.
This trial tests whether adding a fiber supplement to standard immunotherapy can help treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose tumors have high PD-L1 levels and no treatable genetic mutations.
This study tests whether taking fish oil supplements combined with progressive weight training exercises can help preserve or build muscle strength in cancer patients undergoing treatment. The goal is to help you maintain physical function and quality of life during cancer care.
