Nutritional supplement for colorectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
