Effect of preoperative immunonutrition on outcomes of colon cancer surgery: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

DiscussionAlthough there have been many studies demonstrating significant benefits of preoperative immunonutrition, these were limited by a small sample size and potential publication bias.
