Abstract focus
Several preoperative characteristics were identified in the <400 m 6MWD group that could be useful in screening and targeting future prehabilitative treatments. Future trials should investigate use of a 400 m standard for the 6MWD as a minimal treatment target for prehabilitation
Context from Dr. Gutman’s comments
Continuing to expand the literature establishing the effectiveness of prehabilitation in cancer surgery, Dr. Carli’s team found that in this particular trial, prehabilitation was equal to rehabilitation in improving functional capacity in these patients.
