This study investigates the use of virtual multimodal programs for patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine how feasible and acceptable these programs are for patients, clinicians, and caregivers.
The study evaluates the potential benefits of using virtual programs before and after surgery. It focuses on understanding the impact on postoperative complications, quality of life, and other key outcomes.
- Who can participate: Adults aged 18 and older who are planning to have major gastrointestinal surgery, such as liver, pancreas, or colorectal cancer surgery, may participate. Participants must consult with a cancer surgeon at least one week before surgery and have access to a smart device with internet.
- Study details: Participants will be involved in a virtual program that includes various activities before and after their surgery. Some participants may receive usual care instead.
