Summary

This study tests a pre-surgical toolkit (OPTI-Surg) designed to help older cancer patients recover more quickly after major surgery. The toolkit provides recommendations before surgery to improve physical function and reduce complications. About 325 participants with various cancers will use the toolkit, and researchers will measure their activity levels and recovery eight weeks after surgery.
