“Colorectal Cancer Surgery: Plasma Metabolite Changes Predict Postoperative Complications and Guide Decision-Making”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38116682

This study found that changes in plasma metabolites after colorectal cancer surgery, particularly in phospholipids and amino acids, are associated with the severity of postoperative complications, and could potentially be used as early markers to guide decision-making and improve surgical outcomes.
