Core Tip
Core Tip: Few studies have examined how fast-track rehabilitation (FTR) accompanied by humanized nursing affects gastrointestinal recovery and quality of life of patients who underwent gastric cancer (GC) surgery. This clinical study of 102 patients who underwent GC surgery compared outcomes between patients receiving FTR with humanized nursing and those receiving standard care. Through a series of analyses, this study revealed the greater clinical benefits of FTR plus humanized care, which is an effective alternative for optimizing postoperative care in patients who underwent GC surgery.
