Clinical takeawayConsider adopting the EUROSTAR consensus recommendations, which provide specific diagnostic criteria, investigation pathways, and management strategies, for standardizing postoperative care in patients after major UGI cancer surgery.
What it foundA multidisciplinary panel developed 8 statements and 13 recommendations using a modified GRADE methodology for symptom monitoring, service provision, and management of postoperative conditions after major UGI cancer surgery, including specific diagnostic criteria, investigation pathways, and management strategies.
ContextThis consensus addresses the lack of standardization in postoperative care for UGI cancer surgery survivors, refining current practices and providing a structured, evidence-based approach to symptom management.
