Description
Scott Newbould and colleagues give a 2026 study plan on weight change before gut cancer surgery. The study sits in a UK prep service called Active Together. That service blends exercise, food, and mind support. How weight shifts affect surgery is unclear.
The study will recruit 100 adults with obesity. All face curative gut cancer surgery. Visits will run at diagnosis and before surgery. Staff will measure body mass and makeup. Surveys will track food status and life quality. Surgery facts will come from routine records. Stay length and problems will be logged. One-year survival will also be tracked.
