Heart Safety Monitoring During Urologic Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tracks heart health before and after major surgery for prostate or kidney cancer in older adults. Researchers want to predict which patients might experience heart problems after surgery so they can provide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older
- You need major surgery (such as removing prostate or kidney) for cancer under general anesthesia
- You had a heart rhythm test (EKG) before surgery
- Your surgery is considered medium-to-high risk for heart complications
- You can be checked on for at least 30 days after surgery
- You can stay in the hospital after your surgery

This study collects information from people having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to learn how to better predict kidney problems after surgery.
This trial tests a computer model that predicts if you might have a major heart problem after non-cardiac surgery. It uses your health data to help doctors plan safer care.
This study follows people after major surgery to see what predicts heart and blood vessel problems later. It does not test a new drug; it mainly collects health information to help clinicians reduce risk.
This study checks whether close monitoring of vital signs around the time of non-cardiac surgery can help identify small heart injuries (called perioperative myocardial infarction or injury). It may help doctors spot people at higher risk sooner, especially after certain major surgeries.
This study looks at how blood flow changes during major abdominal cancer surgery in older adults and whether it relates to heart damage after surgery. Participants will have their blood flow monitored during surgery and a blood test 24 hours later.
This study looks at ways to lower the chance of heart-related problems after major surgery that is not directly related to the heart. It focuses on people at higher heart risk who are expected to stay in the hospital for at least two days after surgery.
