About this trial

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

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

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.

Disqualifiers

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.
