Plant or dairy shake for cancer and heart patients at risk of malnutrition
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of nutrition shakes (one plant-based and one dairy-based) for patients who are undernourished due to cancer, lung disease, heart problems, or recovery from surgery. It aims to see if the plant-based shake is just as good as the dairy shake.
