A Randomized High-Fermented Food Intervention Among Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Patients (The FEED Trial)
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a dietary intervention (FEED-FF) that includes fermented foods (FF), among locally advanced rectal cancer patients and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and to explore whether this diet can improve outcomes in rectal cancer patients receiving chemoradiation and NSCLC patients receiving immunotherapy.
