Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cancer Stage
Time Frame: From enrollment to up to 1 month after surgery.
The TNM system of cancer classification determines the stage of cancer based on type of cancer, size of cancer, lymph node status, presence of metastasis
From enrollment to up to 1 month after surgery.
Patient Satisfaction
Time Frame: From enrollment to 1 year after surgery.
Measured using validated surveys pre-operative and post-operative (2 week, 6 month, 1 year).
From enrollment to 1 year after surgery.
Cancer Recurrence
Time Frame: From enrollment to 20 years after surgery
Recurrence of cancer following surgery and adjuvant therapy
From enrollment to 20 years after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Positive Margin Rate
Time Frame: From enrollment to 1 year after initial surgery
The investigators will measure rates of positive margins after cancer resection that requires additional resection.
From enrollment to 1 year after initial surgery
Surgical Complication Rate
Time Frame: From date of surgery up to 5 years after surgery
Complications from surgery (infection, wound dehiscence, seroma, hematoma, etc.) will be measured and aggregated into a overall rate of major complications (requires intervention) and minor complications as percentages.
From date of surgery up to 5 years after surgery
