A randomized controlled clinical trial on multimodal prehabilitation in colorectal cancer patients to improve functional capacity: preliminary results
The preliminary results of this study indicate that it is feasible to implement a prehabilitation protocol lasting approximately 4 weeks. This protocol appears to yield a significant improvement in the physical performance of patients with colon cancer undergoing elective colorectal resection at 4 and 8 weeks after surgery.
