Preoperative intentional weight loss to support postoperative recovery in patients with excess weight and colorectal cancer: the CARE feasibility randomised controlled trial
Abstract
Excess weight increases morbidity risk after colorectal cancer surgery. Weight loss might reduce this risk. However, the period between diagnosis and treatment in colorectal cancer is typically less than 1 month, necessitating an intensive weight loss intervention. We tested the feasibility of an intensive preoperative weight loss intervention.
