A Study to Determine Whether Perioperative Energy Dynamics Correlates With Postoperative Outcomes

Description

To validate a new method for assessing perioperative risk in the cancer patient undergoing major cancer surgery. In this proposed study researchers will: 1. Measure preoperative energy reserve capacity (fitness) 2. Determine if postoperative morbidity is a function of perioperative cardiopulmonary gas exchange metabolism

Conditions

Abdominal Cancer, Pelvic Cancer

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Participants 18 years of age or older.
  • * Participants with newly diagnosed esophageal and lung cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or immunotherapy.
  • * Participants who have signed the consent form to participate in the study.
  • * Participants must have been evaluated in the Perioperative Evaluation and Management (POEM) Center or by a staff Anesthesiologist.
  • * All laboratory and diagnostic evaluations required or used to evaluate the patient must be completed. All participants must be approved to undergo anesthesia by the standards of the POEM Center.
  • * No samples belonging to vulnerable populations (children, pregnant women, cognitively impaired adults or prisoners) will be allowed from participation.
  • * Participant is under age 18.
  • * Participant is unwilling to sign consent.
  • * Participant is unable to exercise (bedridden or wheel chair bound).
  • * Participant is enrolled in another study deemed by the investigator to affect oxygen metabolic efficiency and not presently the standard of care at MDACC.
  • * Participant's condition is deemed unsatisfactory for surgery after the preanesthetic evaluation.
  • * Participant has had a myocardial infarction within three months of the preanesthetic evaluation or presents with new or unstable angina.
  • * Participant has a history of a cerebrovascular accident or transit ischemic attacks within three months of the preanesthetic evaluation.
  • * Participant has a history of a pulmonary embolic event within three months of the preanesthetic evaluation.
  • * Participant is known to have acute or chronic deep vein thrombosis.
  • * Participant is pregnant.
