Summary

This study tests whether a telehealth education program, called Surgery School, helps people prepare for lung or major abdominal cancer surgery. Participants will watch videos and talk with a clinician online before their operation. The goal is to see if this reduces breathing problems after surgery and speeds up recovery. The trial plans to enroll 515 adults across multiple sites.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
telehealth education and exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that preparing patients online before cancer surgery helps them recover faster and have fewer breathing problems.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so the effect may be modest. The trial is still recruiting and results are not yet available.
