Assessing Frailty and Its Impacts on Patients Facing Major GI Surgery

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Bowel Cancer

In brief

The study team will look at 3 new tests that will make it easier to measure frailty in patients awaiting surgery for cancer and compare them against standard clinical measures of frailty in a pilot study. The expected outcome is that evidence will be collated in order to apply for a major grant to look at improving the care of frail patients with cancer in the future.
