Nutrition and recovery after stomach cancer surgery in older adults
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how frailty and nutrition before surgery affect recovery in older adults having stomach cancer surgery. It may help improve care and recovery for patients over 60.

This study tests a frailty assessment and intervention program for people aged 65+ with stage II or III stomach cancer who will have surgery and chemotherapy afterward. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life.
This trial studies whether a program of exercise and liquid nutrition given through a tube (enteral nutrition) after surgery for stomach cancer can help people live longer. It may help you recover better and improve survival.
This trial studies how older stomach cancer survivors' eating habits change after surgery and tests ways to help them eat healthier. It focuses on people who just had their stomach cancer removed.
This trial studies a “prehabilitation” program—exercise and coaching before surgery—to help frail older adults recover better after major digestive cancer surgery. It may help you strengthen your body and function before the operation, which can improve outcomes after surgery.
This study looks at how older adults (65+) with digestive tract cancers respond to surgery aimed at a cure. Researchers want to see what factors affect recovery and quality of life after the operation.
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.
