Metabolism and heart health after abdominal cancer surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body's energy use (metabolism) affects the risk of heart damage after major abdominal cancer surgery. By measuring your heart and lung fitness before surgery, researchers hope to find ways to prevent heart complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be scheduled for major abdominal surgery to treat cancer, with a planned overnight stay in the hospital.
- You must be able and willing to complete a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) – a test that checks how well your heart and lungs respond to exercise – before your surgery.
- You must be able to give written consent to participate.
- You cannot be pregnant, have an active infection (sepsis), or have end-stage organ failure (such as being on dialysis).

This study looks at how your body uses energy during surgery and whether those patterns relate to how well you do after surgery. It may help doctors better predict outcomes for people with newly diagnosed esophageal or lung cancer who are preparing for treatment.
This study looks at whether a simple heart rate and blood pressure measure can help predict if patients with heart conditions will have heart problems after major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors monitor patients more closely and prevent complications.
This study looks at whether certain patients have heart muscle injury (called MINS) after major liver or bile duct surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, your doctors will check your heart with a special blood test before and after. The goal is to find out who is at risk and help prevent problems.
This trial tests a program of exercise and nutritional support before cancer surgery to help you recover faster. It is for patients having major abdominal, chest, or gynecologic cancer surgery.
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.
This trial tests whether special preparation exercises and wellness support before chemotherapy and major abdominal or pelvic surgery can help you recover better and stay stronger. You'll work with a team including exercise specialists and mental health counselors before your operation.
