Google Location History Following Oesophagectomy and/or Gastrectomy
Google Location History (GLH) as a Health Tool to Assess Physical Activity Profiles and Patterns Following Oesophagectomy and/or Gastrectomy
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Mar 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for patients with early-disease esophageal and gastric cancer. Open surgery for oesophageal cancer commonly involves large incisions in the chest, which is associated with a high rate of respiratory complications in the postoperative period. Patients with oesophageal or gastric cancer furthermore commonly present with significant weight loss, affecting both muscle mass and muscle strength. This could further decrease the physical fitness and increase the risk for experiencing complications after treatment. Patients also report a decreased physical functioning in quality of life at least 3 years after surgery, suggesting this is a persistent deficit. Currently, no long-term data is available assessing physical activity levels in oesophageal or gastric cancer survivors. Thus, quantifying physical activity levels in these patients may identify the period in which patients' activity levels are most likely to deteriorate. Activity levels will be assessed from Google Location History from the patient's phone, providing summary of physical activity over time. This information could be used in the future to provide adequate physical therapy intervention which might improve recovery in several aspects, such as physical fitness but also respiratory function and quality of life.

- use and Android phone
- is 18 years or older, and below 90 years of age, AND
- no previous history of upper gastrointestinal cancer, AND
- not diagnosed with or undergoing treatment for active cancer since active cancer or cancer-related treatment might influence physical activity levels and quality of life, AND
