In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This clinical study aims to evaluate whether short-term personalized nutritional support, when combined with structured health education, can improve nutritional status, quality of life, and clinical outcomes in patients who have undergone surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC). Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and many patients experience malnutrition and poor physical condition during treatment, which can negatively affect recovery and long-term survival. In this multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial, approximately 360 postoperative CRC patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to one of four groups: (A) nutritional enhancement combined with health education, (B) health education alone, (C) nutritional enhancement alone, or (D) standard care (control group). Nutritional support will include individualized diet counseling and oral nutrition
