Summary
This study follows 200 people who have had or will have hemipelvectomy surgery for pelvic tumors. Researchers will track physical function and quality of life through questionnaires and fitness tests. The goal is to learn how different surgical methods affect long-term recovery, which could help future patients and their doctors make better decisions.
