Study probes Patients' minds, not their tumors
NCT ID NCT07481994
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how older adults (65+) with cancer understand their illness and what they value in life before and after a major operation. Researchers will interview 100 patients to learn about their awareness, expectations, and decision-making. No new drug or treatment is being tested — the goal is to better understand the patient experience.
