This trial tests if taking a postbiotic supplement before surgery for colorectal cancer can improve recovery. It may help patients with adenocarcinoma of the large intestine prepare for their operation.
This trial tests if taking postbiotic gummies (a type of supplement that helps good gut bacteria) can help your gut recover faster after surgery for stomach, colon, or other gastrointestinal cancers. It is for people having scheduled, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery to remove their cancer.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement (Clostridium butyricum) can improve gut health and bowel function after surgery for very low rectal cancer. It may help patients who have a temporary ileostomy and are planning to have it reversed within 6 months.
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.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics (helpful bacteria) before your ileostomy reversal surgery can help your bowel recover. It may prevent complications like infection or bowel problems after the stoma is closed.
This trial tests whether transferring healthy bacteria from a donor's stool (called fecal microbiota transplantation) can improve bowel problems like frequent bowel movements or trouble controlling gas or stool, which are common after rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment helps you feel better and improves your quality of life.
