Extra support team tested to ease cancer surgery journey
NCT ID NCT03611309
Summary
This study tested whether adding a specialized support team (palliative care) to work alongside surgeons improves the experience for patients and their families around major stomach or digestive system cancer surgery. It compared standard surgeon-led care to a combined approach focusing on symptom management, education, and emotional support. The goal was to see if this extra layer of care improved quality of life, reduced symptoms, and eased caregiver burden during a challenging time.
