About this study

Official title: Perioperative Nutritional and Hemodinamic Support in Retroperitoneal Sarcoma Patients. A Phase II Prospective Feasibility Study.

Prospective feasibility study of perioperative nutrition in patients affected by primary retroperitoneal sarcoma

Read the detailed description

Aim of our study was to investigate the feasibility of a prehabilitation policy to optimize protein energetic reserves in a group of patients affected by primary localized RPS, candidate to a multiple organ resection surgery, as well as the feasibility of a standardized nutritional postoperative caloric target and its adequacy.

Being tested
Oral Nutritional Support

Study groups in NCT03877588
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Primary retroperitoneal sarcomaOtherAll eligible patients are screened in preoperative phase, at least 30 days before surgery, for presence of protein energetic malnutrition (PEM). PEM is defined according to biochemical and physiological parameters (Table). 3 class of PEM are identified: no PEM, mild PEM and serious PEM. Different nutritional oral supplements are provided according to the degree of malnutrition.
