April 7/The Irish Times -- Nutritional supplements rich in Omega-3 fatty acids can have a significantly positive impact on patients undergoing surgery for esophageal cancer, according to new research conducted at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and St. James' Hospital.
The benefits are so marked that they may also apply to good preparation for and recovery from major surgery in other areas, the research team led by John V. Reynolds, TCD professor of surgery, and Dr. Aoife Ryan, research dietitian, has noted.
