Chesney TR, Haas B, Coburn NG, et al. - Researchers conducted a population-based cohort study of 82,037 patients 70 years or older with the aim to determine the long-term functional outcomes of older adults after a resection for cancer using time at home as the measure. During the 5 years after resection for cancer, more than 98% of the time was spent at home by most of these elderly. The probability of having a high time at home (defined as ≤14 institution days over 1 year) was 70.3% and 53.2% at postoperative year 1 and at postoperative year 5, respectively. This study suggests the possible utility of time at home data for preoperative counseling concerning surgical cancer treatment to support decision-making, improve preparedness for the surgical procedure, and set expectations for long-term outcomes.
