PeRioperative Omega Three and the Effect on ImmuNity

PROTEIN
Start date: July 16, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Bowel cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in the UK, with 50,000 new cases and over 15,000 deaths annually. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment and the most common complications are an infection of the wound or lungs. These can lengthen hospital stay, reduce the quality of life, and even increase the risk of death. Bowel cancer patients are often malnourished. Optimising nutrition with supplements such as fish-oils can improve the immune response of patients, helping prevent such complications, shorten hospital stay, improve quality of life and overall survival.
