Abstract focus
In patients undergoing surgical resection for lung cancer within the context of ERP, multimodal prehabilitation initiated four weeks prior to surgery is as effective in recovering FC as multimodal rehabilitation.
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.
