Extra preparation before surgery for cancer-related bowel blockage
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program—extra nutrition, exercise, and medical support—before planned surgery can help people with cancer-related bowel blockages recover better and have fewer complications. It aims to improve your strength and health before the operation.
