No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to investigate whether there are differences in surgical outcomes between male and female patients with gastrointestinal cancers (esophagus, colon, rectum, stomach, or pancreas). Previous research suggests that women may have worse outcomes after high-risk surgeries, such as heart or vascular procedures, but it is unclear if this applies to gastrointestinal cancer surgery. The study will analyze population based data from Germany to compare how often male and female patients died or died after the occurence of a surgical complication (failure to rescue) after surgery. The goal is to determine if biological sex influences surgical risks and recovery, which could help improve personalized care for cancer patients.
