To validate a new method for assessing perioperative risk in the cancer patient undergoing major cancer surgery. In this proposed study researchers will: 1. Measure preoperative energy reserve capacity (fitness) 2. Determine if postoperative morbidity is a function of perioperative cardiopulmonary gas exchange metabolism

You will not qualify if you...
- Participant is under age 18.
- Participant is unwilling to sign consent.
- Participant is unable to exercise (bedridden or wheel chair bound).
- Participant is enrolled in another study deemed by the investigator to affect oxygen metabolic efficiency and not presently the standard of care at MDACC.
- Participant's condition is deemed unsatisfactory for surgery after the preanesthetic evaluation.
- Participant has had a myocardial infarction within three months of the preanesthetic evaluation or presents with new or unstable angina.
- Participant has a history of a cerebrovascular accident or transit ischemic attacks within three months of the preanesthetic evaluation.
- Participant has a history of a pulmonary embolic event within three months of the preanesthetic evaluation.
