Nutrition supplements before cancer surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of nutritional supplements given to patients before cancer surgery. One is a special mix that boosts the immune system, and the other is rich in omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA). The goal is to see which one helps patients recover better after surgery.
