NIMA-Colon Cancer Study

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of nutritional supplementation and physical activity interventions on recovery, muscle strength, nutritional status, inflammation, and metabolic health in adults with colon cancer undergoing surgery. Patients with colon cancer frequently experience loss of muscle mass, reduced physical function, and nutritional deterioration both before and after surgery, which may adversely affect recovery and quality of life. A key objective of this study is to assess whether a postoperative intervention combining nutritional supplementation with beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and vitamin D, together with a structured physical activity program, can improve muscle strength and functional recovery following colon cancer surgery. This study aims to answer the following questions: * Does nutritional supplementation with HMB and vitamin D, combined with postoperative physical activity, improve muscle strength and physical function following colon cancer surgery? * How do nutritional and lifestyle interventions influence nutritional status, gut microbiota composition, and biological markers of inflammation and metabolism during the recovery period? * Are there differences in recovery outcomes between patients receiving different types of nutritional support, with or without supervised physical activity? Participants will be adults diagnosed with colon cancer who undergo surgical treatment at the Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Vic…
