First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special geriatric care program before and after colorectal cancer surgery helps patients aged 70 and older recover their daily functioning better than standard care. The program includes early nutrition support, early mobilization, and careful management of other health issues. Researchers will compare functional status at 3 months between the two groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- multidisciplinary geriatric perioperative care program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a tailored geriatric care plan helps older adults recover their independence faster after colorectal cancer surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to all older adults. The intervention is complex and may be hard to replicate in other hospitals.
