Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Researchers are studying whether people with risk factors for blood circulation disease have a condition called peripheral arterial disease (PAD). People with PAD have poor blood circulation because of narrowing or blocks in blood vessels caused by fat or calcium deposits (atherosclerosis). The study researchers think that PAD may lead to worse outcomes in cancer treatment, but people with cancer are not routinely tested for the disease. The purpose of this study is to find out how common PAD is among people with cancer who have risk factors for blood circulation disease, and to compare how often PAD is diagnosed in different racial groups

Inclusion Criteria: * Cancer patients who are ≥ 65 years old * Either diabetes (on medication or insulin) or smoking history (current smoker, smoking within the last 15 years, ≥ 20 pack years) * Patients who are scheduled for major head and neck, thoracic, abdominal, or pelvic surgery requiring at least a 2-day admission * Ambulatory * ≥ 6 month life expectancy as determined based on clinical judgement by the treating physician. If treating clinician does not confirm life-expectancy ≥ 6 months, will calculate Lee Schoenberg Index using ePrognosis.ucsf.edu. Exclusion Criteria: * Hospice patient, patient with a DNR order * Non-ambulatory, wheelchair/bed bound * \< 6 month life expectancy based on the clinical judgement by the treating physician
