Medium chain triglyceride diet after lung surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special diet with medium chain triglycerides (a type of fat) after lung surgery can help you go home sooner. If you are having a lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe) and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35
- You are having a minimally invasive lung lobectomy (removal of a whole lung lobe with lymph node checks)
- You do not have serious health problems like heart failure, kidney failure, or active infections
- You have not had tuberculosis or empyema (pus in the chest) in the past
- You must be willing to follow the diet and give written consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery can help people with moderate-to-high risk. Participants will exercise for a short period to see if it improves their recovery.
This trial tests if LM103, given after surgery and standard chemotherapy, helps prevent non-small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people who have already had chemotherapy or immunotherapy before surgery and whose cancer did not return after surgery.
This trial tests whether a small procedure during lung surgery, called thoracic duct ligation, can help people with early-stage lung cancer and obesity lose weight after their operation. It may offer a way to improve health while treating lung cancer.
This trial tests a new anesthetic approach for very underweight patients having a lung transplant. The goal is to help you recover better by keeping you breathing on your own during surgery instead of using a breathing tube. If you qualify, it may offer a more gentle recovery.
This study looks at how nutrition and muscle health before lung cancer surgery can affect recovery. It tests whether checking these factors can help predict and improve outcomes after surgery.
This trial tests whether a tubeless surgery technique (no breathing tube during or after surgery) is safe and effective for people whose lungs are not working well. If you need lung surgery and have trouble breathing, this approach might help you avoid a breathing tube and a stay in the ICU.
