NCT ID NCT07176052

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study will follow 200 adults undergoing surgery for liver, esophagus, or pancreatic cancer. Researchers want to see how patients' expectations before surgery relate to their pain, painkiller use, and recovery afterward. The goal is to learn how to better manage pain and improve patient experience, not to test a new drug or treatment.
