Nutritional Support Before Sarcoma Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether special nutritional supplements given before surgery for bone or soft tissue sarcoma (a type of cancer) can help your body heal better and recover faster. You'll take oral supplements for at least a week before your planned surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether better nutrition before and after cancer surgery helps your stomach and intestines recover faster. It is for people with cancer in the belly or pelvis who are malnourished and having surgery.
This trial tests a step-by-step (sequential) chemotherapy plan given before surgery for adults with specific types of soft tissue sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor before the operation and see how well this approach works and is tolerated.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy both before and after surgery helps people with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma live longer and prevents the cancer from coming back. It aims to see if this treatment plan is more effective than surgery alone.
This trial looks at whether low muscle mass (sarcopenia) before surgery affects recovery for older adults with gastrointestinal cancer. It may help doctors personalize care and improve outcomes.
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 study tests whether giving a special type of radiation (carbon ion) before surgery can safely help treat soft tissue sarcoma. It aims to see if this approach is effective and tolerable for patients.
