Can mitochondrial energy predict resilience in older cancer patients?
NCT ID NCT07046936
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether older adults with gynecologic cancer are willing to complete physical and cognitive tests before and after treatment. Researchers will also take small muscle and blood samples to study how cell energy relates to resilience. The goal is to see if this kind of research is feasible, not to test a new treatment.
