- Original description
The treatment of colorectal cancer, in the absence of metastases, is primarily based on surgical removal. Colorectal surgery, which involves resecting part of the intestine and restoring intestinal continuity, carries a risk of complications. This study aims to evaluate whether oral supplementation with a postbiotic at a dose of 900 mg for 7 days prior to surgery reduces the rate of postoperative complications.Read full original descriptionShow less
