Understanding anxiety before cancer surgery in hospitalized patients
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how anxious cancer patients feel before surgery and tests a new way to measure that anxiety. It's observational—meaning researchers watch and listen rather than give treatments—to help doctors better support patients emotionally before procedures.
