Extra support team tested to ease cancer surgery journey for patients and families
NCT ID NCT03611309
Summary
This study tested whether adding a specialized support team (palliative care) to work alongside surgeons improves the experience for patients undergoing major stomach, pancreas, or liver cancer surgery and their family caregivers. It compared the standard surgeon-led care to a new model where a team focused on managing symptoms, providing education, and offering emotional and spiritual support. The goal was to see if this extra layer of support led to better quality of life for patients and less burden for their caregivers after surgery.
