Nutrition Support Before and After Pancreatic Surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special nutrition plan before and after Whipple surgery (a major operation for pancreatic or bile duct cancer) helps patients recover faster and feel better. Researchers want to see if eating the right nutrients beforehand makes surgery easier on your body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas head, bile duct, duodenum, or tissue around the pancreas
- You are scheduled for an elective (planned, not emergency) Whipple procedure
- You are age 18 or older
