NCT ID NCT07638410
First seen Jun 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a prehabilitation program—including physical therapy, dietary advice, and emotional support—given before major cancer surgery can reduce deaths and serious complications within 30 days after the operation. About 180 adults with cancers of the pancreas, colon, stomach, esophagus, bladder, or ovary will take part while receiving pre-surgery treatment. Their recovery will be compared to similar patients who had standard care in the past.
