Understanding and predicting long-term outcomes of older adults undergoing cancer surgery
FY 2018-19
Summary
Older adults who experience cancer want information about their ability to live independently when making choices about care. When surgery is an option, there is currently no information available on the likelihood of living independently at home after one undergoes cancer surgery. This research aims to assess the likelihood of needing home care within one's own home, more support in another residential care setting, or admission to long-term care facility following cancer surgery. We will develop a web-based tool that can be used by patients and healthcare providers to estimate their own likelihood of experiencing those outcomes following surgery.

Abstract
Older adults who experience cancer want information about their ability to live independently when making choices about care. When surgery is an option, there is currently no information available on the likelihood of living independently at home after one undergoes cancer surgery. This research aims to assess the likelihood of needing home care within one's own home, more support in another residential care setting, or admission to long-term care facility following cancer surgery. We will develop a web-based tool that can be used by patients and healthcare providers to estimate their own likelihood of experiencing those outcomes following surgery.
