New program aims to get seniors stronger before cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT03659123

Summary

This pilot study tested a special support program designed to help older adults with cancer prepare for and recover from major surgery. The program included physical exercise, nutritional guidance, and education before surgery, followed by support during the hospital stay and after returning home. The goal was to see if this coordinated approach could be successfully implemented in different hospitals to help reduce complications and improve recovery for this vulnerable group.
