TL;DR: It was found that older adults predominantly experienced high time at home after resection for cancer, reflecting the overall favorable functional outcomes in this population.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the association between anesthesiologist volume and short-term postoperative outcomes for complex gastrointestinal (GI) cancer surgery and found that, among adults who underwent complex gastrointestinal cancer surgery, those who received care from high-volume anesthesiologists had a lower risk of adverse post-operative outcomes compared with those who receive care from low-volume surgeons.

TL;DR: The proportion of patients reporting positive DSS after cancer diagnosis receiving psychosocial intervention is low and patients vulnerable to not receiving interventions are identified, who may benefit from additional support.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated long-term health care support needs by examining homecare use after cancer surgery for older adults with a new cancer diagnosis between 2007 and 2017 who underwent resection, and the outcomes were receipt and intensity of homecare from postoperative discharge to 5 years after surgery.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined all-cause and cancer-specific death throughout 5 years for older adults after cancer resection, using a competing risks approach, the cumulative incidence of cancer and non-cancer death was estimated and stratified by important prognostic factors.
