Comprehensive Perioperative Program Based on Prehabilitation, Nutritional Intervention and Psychological Support for Patients With Locally Advanced Operable Oesophagogastric Cancer (OESOFIT)

25 juni 2026 uppdaterad av: Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute

A Comprehensive Preoperative and Postoperative Program Consisting Of Active Physical Therapy, A Comprehensive Nutritional Plan, And Psychological Support For Patients With Locally Advanced, Resectable Cancer Of The Esophagus, Gastroesophageal Junction, and Stomach

Perioperative chemotherapy (CHT) or CHT/RT combined with surgery is the standard therapeutic approach for the treatment of locally advanced cancer of the esophagus, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and stomach. Comprehensive cancer treatment is associated with high perioperative morbidity and mortality. Serious postoperative complications occur in up to 20-80% of patients undergoing esophagectomy. The impact of nutritional status and overall physical condition on surgical outcomes and overall treatment has been demonstrated many times. The concept of pre-rehabilitation/pre-optimization, which involves establishing an individualized nutritional plan, monitoring and managing physical activity, and providing comprehensive supportive oncological and psychological care as early as during neoadjuvant CHT or CHT/RT, is a prerequisite for improving perioperative and 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

Standard care for locally advanced diseases includes perioperative chemotherapy or preoperative chemoradiotherapy, which can, in turn, lead to patient deconditioning prior to surgery. Efforts to overcome these complications led to the development of the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) program. This program overlaps with the emerging concept of prehabilitation/pre-optimization, which is based on identifying risk factors, formulating nutritional support, creating an exercise plan to improve overall physical fitness, and implementing continuous psychological support to enhance the patient's postoperative recovery.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the body's primary homeostatic regulatory system, which can be negatively affected by anticancer treatment. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a suitable candidate for monitoring ANS function and can provide early indication of a deterioration in the sympathovagal balance of test subjects. As mentioned above, preoperative chemotherapy may further affect ANS function. It is known that regimens based on oxaliplatin and paclitaxel cause peripheral neuropathy and are associated with a significant impact on the adrenergic cardiovascular response and parasympathetic cardiac innervation. We hypothesize that a controlled increase in physical cardiorespiratory fitness during the preoperative period could improve HRV and aerobic performance, taking into account the patient's current condition. An integral part of a comprehensive program should also be perioperative individualized nutritional support aimed at maintaining body weight and muscle mass. The most common adverse effects of cancer treatment include cardiac toxicity, peripheral neuropathy, cachexia, loss of appetite, cognitive changes, fatigue, nausea, pain, and sleep disturbances, which have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. For this reason, special attention must also be paid to psychological support during active cancer treatment and in follow-up care. Psychological assessment should serve as a long-term tool for patients and families both during and after the active treatment course. Considering all the above aspects, a comprehensive assessment prior to treatment initiation and a specialized comprehensive program should be approached as a prehabilitation process. Furthermore, this concept, together with ERAS and six-month postoperative follow-up, constitutes optimal management of patients with esophageal cancer.

Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Interventional
Participants undergo a multimodal prehabilitation and perioperative optimization program. Intervention includes supervised home-based exercise training prescribed according to the ACSM FITT principles for 8 weeks, incorporating inspiratory muscle training initiated at 60% of baseline maximal inspiratory pressure and progressively adjusted based on perceived exertion, together with aerobic exercise at 60-80% heart rate reserve. Training is delivered via telemedicine with regular remote supervision. Cardiorespiratory fitness is assessed at baseline, after completion of neoadjuvant therapy, and 6 months postoperatively. Participants will receive comprehensive nutritional assessment and individualized nutritional support, structured psychological counseling at predefined study time points, and perioperative care according to ERAS principles. Quality of life is evaluated using validated questionnaires. Cellular and humoral immunity and endocrine function are monitored longitudinally using
A single measurement before the start of preoperative treatment (baseline), after completion of chemotherapy 4-2 weeks before surgery, and 6 months after surgery.
Exercise training is prescribed in accordance with the guidelines for prescribing physical activity (the FITT methodology published by the ACSM in 2018) for a period of 2 months. Training is set at 60% of the baseline maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and is increased by 5% if the participant reports a rate of perceived exertion (RPE) < 7 (RPE scale 1-10). Exercises is conducted under supervision using telemedicine technologies. Weekly online check-ins via video call using the MOU MEDDI platform (first 4 weeks), then once every 14 days. Alternatively, weekly training sessions at the gym for the first 4 weeks (3 times a week at home, walking for at least 30 minutes per training session), followed by independent training at home. The intensity of aerobic training is prescribed based on a target heart rate of 60-80% of the heart rate reserve. An important part of the evaluation is also the patient's adherence to the exercise intervention and their level of physical activity.
  1. Preoperative evaluation in the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation Department (ARD)/Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and preoperative intensive care, assessment of the patient's condition, development of an anesthetic plan, and consultation with the patient and their family members.
  2. Application of ERAS principles in the immediate preoperative period.
  3. Application of ERAS principles intraoperatively.
  4. Application of ERAS principles for the postoperative period.
  5. Implementation of early detection of complications and their immediate resolution.
  1. Assessment of nutrition using the SGA (Seven-Point Subjective Global Assessment)
  2. Assessment of nutritional status (nutritional requirements) using laboratory values, anthropometry, and bioimpedance
  3. Assessment of weight loss or gain using selected parameters
  4. Assessment of intake of regular food, oral dietary supplements, dietary modifications, and artificial nutrition
Psychological intervention is provided to each patient at the following time points: 1) upon enrollment in the study, 2) before surgery, 3) 30 days after surgery, and 4) 6 months after surgery.
It is assessed using standardized questionnaires.
Monitoring of cellular and humoral immunity/endocrine function will be performed by flow cytometry using two peripheral blood samples (1 tube containing 2.7 mL of EDTA-anticoagulated blood and 1 tube containing 5 mL of anticoagulant-free blood for serum separation) at 4 time points: 1) upon study enrollment, 2) before surgery, 3) 30 days after surgery, and 4) 6 months after surgery. Multicolor (6 to 8 colors) protocols for the proposed immune profile have already been established.
