Pre-surgery program to strengthen health and reduce complications
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a 4-week program of exercise, nutrition support, and mental coaching before major gastrointestinal cancer surgery. It aims to strengthen your overall health and reduce complications after the operation.
