Prehabilitation in High-risk Oncologic Surgery
SURG-236: Prehabilitation in High-risk Oncologic Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study
The goal of this clinical study is to learn whether a prehabilitation program can improve recovery after major abdominal surgery in adults with cancer who are receiving treatment before surgery. Prehabilitation is supportive care given before surgery to help patients prepare physically, nutritionally, and emotionally.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Does prehabilitation reduce the number of participants who die or have serious complications within 30 days after surgery?
- Does prehabilitation improve physical strength and fitness, nutritional status, emotional well-being, and quality of life before surgery?
- Does prehabilitation affect the length of the hospital stay after surgery, the time it takes to start additional cancer treatment after surgery, or the ability to complete recommended additional treatment?
Participants will take part in a prehabilitation program during their treatment period before surgery. The program includes visits with physical therapy, nutrition, and health psychology. Participants will meet with each specialty at least twice before surgery. They will also complete questionnaires and tests that measure physical function, diet and weight, emotional well-being, and quality of life. After surgery, information about recovery and additional cancer treatment will be collected from medical records for up to 120 days.
Researchers will compare the outcomes of participants who receive the prehabilitation program with outcomes from similar patients who previously received care at Fox Chase Cancer Center but did not participate in this study.
調査の概要
状態
詳細な説明
Patients with cancer who receive treatment before major abdominal surgery may experience loss of strength, reduced nutritional status, fatigue, and emotional distress during the period leading up to surgery. These challenges may affect their ability to tolerate surgery and recover after the procedure. Prehabilitation is an approach intended to improve a patient's condition before surgery through coordinated supportive care.
This is a prospective cohort study evaluating a multidisciplinary prehabilitation program for adults with cancer who are undergoing neoadjuvant treatment before planned high-risk abdominal oncologic surgery. The program integrates physical therapy, nutritional support, and health psychology during the preoperative treatment period. The study will evaluate whether this approach is associated with improved postoperative outcomes and improved measures of physical function, nutritional status, and emotional well-being.
Outcomes for participants enrolled in the prospective prehabilitation cohort will be compared with outcomes from matched retrospective controls treated at Fox Chase Cancer Center before initiation of this study. Each prospective participant who proceeds to surgery and is eligible for analysis will be matched with one retrospective control based on relevant clinical and demographic characteristics, including age, sex, smoking status, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class, and cancer type. When more than one eligible matched control is available, one control will be selected at random.
The study is intended to assess whether a structured, multidisciplinary prehabilitation program can be implemented across several high-risk oncologic surgery populations and whether this approach may support improved recovery and continuity of cancer care after surgery.

実験的：Multidisciplinary Prehabilitation Program
Participants will receive a multidisciplinary prehabilitation program during the preoperative period while undergoing neoadjuvant treatment before planned high-risk abdominal oncologic surgery.
The program includes supportive care provided by physical therapy, nutrition, and health psychology to prepare participants for surgery and support physical, nutritional, and emotional well-being.
|
A multidisciplinary prehabilitation program delivered during neoadjuvant therapy before planned high-risk abdominal oncologic surgery. The program includes physical therapy, nutrition, and health psychology support, with approximately monthly visits and at least two visits with each specialty before surgery. Physical therapy includes an individualized home strengthening and aerobic exercise program supported by resistance bands, a pedometer, and an exercise log. Nutrition includes individualized dietary counseling focused on maintaining weight and meeting protein needs, with oral nutritional supplementation when clinically indicated. Health psychology includes assessment, supportive care planning, and referral to additional psychosocial resources when needed. The intervention is completed before surgery; postoperative data collection is for follow-up only. |
