Preoperative physiotherapy for improving the reserve capacity in a patient with esophageal cancer and frailty: A case report
We conducted a short-term, intensive, and minimal preoperative physical therapy program for a patient with esophageal cancer who had physical frailty. Preoperative physical therapy to increase the reserve capacity may result in a favorable postoperative course even in patients with physical frailty.
