A fresh study has revealed two simple yet powerful ways for patients battling an advanced stage of colon cancer to improve their chances of survival, particularly after surgery.
In the new study by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), researchers have found that by adopting a less inflammatory diet, patients slash their chances of succumbing to the disease by more than 50 per cent.
A phase 3 clinical trial involving 1,625 patients who had undergone surgery revealed interesting findings on how a simple tweak in diet can impact survival outcomes of colon cancer in its latter stages.
Using detailed surveys, the patients, who had an average age of 61, were tracked over time for their diet and physical activity.
