Summary

This study looks at frailty—symptoms like weight loss, weakness, and slow walking—in 100 gastrointestinal cancer patients from rural and urban areas before they have major surgery. Researchers will use a survey, blood sample, and medical records to see if frailty affects recovery. The goal is to better identify patients who may need extra support.
