Manage surgical risk after high-risk cancer operations
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at a “risk-based plan” to help guide care after major cancer surgery, aiming to improve recovery and outcomes. You may be in the study when you’re about to have elective (planned) high-risk cancer surgery and then again just before hospital discharge.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 at the time your cancer was diagnosed
- Be well enough to do daily life (activity level limits like ECOG 0–2)
- Have confirmed or strongly suspected cancer (including certain early-stage cancers in place of spread)
- Have planned major cancer surgery (not an outpatient, biopsy only, superficial skin surgery, or purely comfort-focused/palliative surgery)
- Be scheduled for elective surgery at Fox Chase within 30 days of enrolling
- Be able and willing to sign consent forms and come back for required visits before and after surgery

This trial tests a program to help people who had cancer surgery get medicine to prevent dangerous blood clots. If you had belly or pelvic cancer surgery and are not on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
This trial asks surgeons who do abdominal cancer surgery to help create better recovery guidelines after high-risk operations. It aims to improve how well patients function after surgery.
This trial tests a comprehensive program to help patients prepare for and recover from cancer surgery. It aims to reduce complications and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a smart monitoring system to watch for complications after major cancer surgery. It may help doctors catch problems early so you can recover better.
This study looks at patients who've had major abdominal, bone, or blood-vessel surgery to understand what factors make some people more likely to have complications afterward. It analyzes information already collected from hospitals to help doctors better predict and prevent problems.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent cancer from coming back in people who have been treated for certain solid tumors (colorectal, ovarian, lung, or breast cancer). If you've completed surgery and adjuvant therapy within the past 2 years and are currently not exercising much, you may be eligible. Participation involves following an exercise plan and regular check-ins.
