PHRI Investigator Julie Nguyen and Scientist Maura Marcucci are leading research to improve how we assess frailty in cancer patients during their treatment and recovery journey. "FARGO is one of the first studies to measure frailty at several time points in a patient’s treatment journey, and perhaps the first that seeks to find new blood tests for frailty in patients with gynecologic cancers.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gMXt2im4 For additional details on the #PHRI #FARGO trial, visit: https://lnkd.in/gPD5uKet Julie Nguyen McMaster Faculty of Health Sciences McMaster University Department of Medicine #PHRIResearch #ResearchExcellence #HealthResearch #Healthcare #CancerResearch #Cancer #Frailty #clinicaltrials
As people grow older, their risk of developing cancer increases and so does their risk of becoming frail. It’s a dangerous combination, given that frailty affects up to 40 per cent of patients living with cancer, increasing their risk of both short and long-term side effects, and even death, following treatment. When a person is frail, their body has less resilience to tolerate treatments and recover, says Dr. Julie Nguyen, a gynecologic oncologist at our Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre. Nguyen is also a clinician-researcher who studies frailty in patients with gynecological cancers. A study co-led by Nguyen and senior researcher Dr. Maura Marcucci at the PHRI Population Health Research Institute aims to find better, more practical ways to assess frailty in patients with cancer as they go through treatment and recovery.https://https://lnkd.in/gMXt2im4 #HHSresearch #PHRI #hospital #healthcare #hamont #cancer
