Warm during surgery? new trial tests if temperature control boosts survival in older cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06256354
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests whether carefully managing body temperature during major cancer surgery can lower the risk of postoperative delirium (sudden confusion) and improve long-term survival in patients aged 65 and older. About 4,000 participants will be randomly assigned to either routine temperature care or active warming. The goal is to see if a simple, low-cost change in the operating room can make a real difference for older adults recovering from cancer surgery.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
targeted temperature management (keeping body temperature stable during surgery)
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple approach could reduce confusion after surgery and help older cancer patients live longer.
What could go wrong
This is a large trial, but it tests a small change in routine care—benefits may be modest or not statistically significant. The results may not apply to all surgeries or patients.
Conditions
