Summary

This study looks at how a special program, called the Geriatric Surgery Verification Program, works for cancer patients aged 65 and older. The program helps care teams address age-related needs like memory, medications, and social support before, during, and after surgery. Researchers will track 4,000 patients to see if the program leads to shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and better recovery. The goal is to improve surgical care for older adults with cancer.
