Improved functional oral intake and exercise training attenuate decline in aerobic capacity following chemoradiotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer
Physical fitness deteriorated in patients with oesophageal cancer following chemoradiotherapy. Improvement in dysphagia helps maintain aerobic capacity. Additionally, exercise training has the potential to mitigate the decline. This discovery can serve as a reference for enhancing holistic care for patients with oesophageal cancer.
