First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring a patient's energy reserve (fitness) before major cancer surgery can help predict how well they recover. Researchers will use a special exercise test to measure gas exchange and see if it relates to complications after surgery. The goal is to better understand surgical risk, not to provide a new treatment. About 200 adults with abdominal or pelvic cancer will take part.
