Predicting recovery after cancer surgery for older adults
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how older adults (65+) with digestive tract cancers respond to surgery aimed at a cure. Researchers want to see what factors affect recovery and quality of life after the operation.
