Frailty, Immunonutrition, Surgery Type, and Biologic Recovery in Elderly Gastric Cancer

The Effects of Multidimensional Frailty Phenotypes, Immunonutritional Status, and Surgical Approach on Biological Recovery in Elderly Patients Undergoing Gastric Cancer Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This prospective observational cohort study will evaluate the effects of multidimensional frailty phenotypes, immunonutritional status, and surgical approach on biological recovery in patients aged 60 years and older undergoing surgery for gastric cancer. Preoperative assessment will include physical and cognitive frailty, nutritional status, handgrip strength, and skeletal muscle characteristics on computed tomography. Patients will be followed prospectively during the perioperative period, including assessment of inflammatory markers, postoperative complications, delirium, hospital length of stay, and functional recovery. The study aims to determine whether multidimensional frailty and immunonutritional factors are associated with postoperative outcomes and whether surgical approach influences biological recovery in older patients with gastric cancer. A total of 328 patients are planned to be included at Kocaeli City Hospital.
