Protein-rich nutrition and surgical recovery in cancer (Nett, Scientific Reports 2022)
Arriving strong to surgery and recovering well isn’t a matter of luck. Nett’s research focuses on one concrete, modifiable factor: protein.
What the study found
Among patients who had surgery for oral cancer, about 8 in 10 who followed protein-rich nutrition recovered better — a reminder of nutrition’s role in healing and preserving muscle mass.
What it means for you during treatment
The window before and after surgery is an opportunity. Preparing the body — with nutrition and strength — can influence how you get through it.
How IronHumans applies it
IronHumans’ prehabilitation works on strength, physical capacity, and nutritional status before the procedure, and sustains muscle mass and autonomy during recovery.
