Clinical Trial: Study of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in People With Cancer Who Will Be Having Surgery
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in Cancer Patients
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Impact and Prevalence of PAD on Cancer Patients at High-risk for PAD Going to Surgery
