Description
Impact is a nutritional supplement being studied in patients undergoing surgery for cancer. It is being investigated to see if it can help reduce complications after surgery, such as infections, and potentially improve overall recovery by supporting the immune system and providing necessary nutrients. The study involves comparing a high-protein supplement to one that also contains immunomodulating ingredients. This research is focused on patients who are well-nourished before surgery.
Mechanism of Action
Impact is a nutritional supplement, not a drug targeting specific cancer pathways. It aims to improve patient outcomes after surgery by providing essential nutrients and potentially boosting the immune system. The 'immunomodulating' aspect suggests it may contain ingredients designed to support immune function, which can be weakened by surgery and cancer.
Side Effects
Not all side effects are listed. Side effects vary by individual. Always consult your oncologist.
