Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of study is to analyse the feasibility of the use of nutritionnal complements after exercices before surgery for cancer.

Body composition, muscle function and muscle mass will be analyse too.

Description:

A prospective study will be carried out including adult patients with neoplasia who should benefit in their therapeutic strategy from oncological surgery. About fifty patients will be recruited in the oncology / surgery department at the Saint-Luc University Clinics in Brussels. Patients will be assessed at the initial consultation and after the pre-habilitation period, ie the day before the operation.

Dietary monitoring will be carried out in parallel with a physical and respiratory preparation program (prehabilitation) and the intake of protein nutritional supplements in the form of powder to be diluted will be carried out after each exercise session.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Adhesion rate of the use of nutritionnel complements after exercices before surgery for cancer	The feasibility of this outcome will be assess by the adhesion rate : (number of protein shots taken) / (number of protein shots prescribed). The adhesion will be validated if> 75% of the holds are respected.	3 weeks
Secondary	Body composition (lean and fat mass)	Evaluated by an impedancemetry balance : pourcentage of lean and fat mass	Once at the inclusion and once the day before surgery (3 weeks)
Secondary	Muscle function	This variable will be studied by the 6-minutes walk test (meters)	Once at the inclusion and once the day before surgery (3 weeks)
Secondary	Nutritional biological markers	These variables will be studied by: prealbumin (g/L) and albumin (g/L) measures	Once at the inclusion
Secondary	Antropometric markers - height	Height (meters)	Once at the inclusion and once the day before surgery (3 weeks)
Secondary	Muscle strength	This variable will be studied by the hand grip test (kilograms)	Once at the inclusion and once the day before surgery (3 weeks)
Secondary	Antropometric markers - weight	Weight (kilograms)	Once at the inclusion and once the day before surgery (3 weeks)
Secondary	Antropometric markers - BMI	BMI (kg/m²) :weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m²	Once at the inclusion and once the day before surgery (3 weeks)
