Abstract focus
Purpose Multimodal prehabilitation programs (exercise, nutrition, and anxiety reduction) have been shown to be successful for enhancing patients’ physical function prior to surgery, although adherence remains a challenge. Given the short pre-operative period, maintaining adherence is critical to maximize program effectiveness.
Context from Dr. Gutman’s comments
This paper was the result of surveying patients who had undergone a multimodal prehabilitation program for cancer treatment. This included strategies such as exercise, dietary intervention and psychological counseling.
