Prehabilitation beyond the trimodal standard: occupational therapy in a quadrimodal cancer care model
This quadrimodal prehabilitation model, integrating occupational therapy, demonstrated effectiveness in preparing frail oncologic patients for radical surgery. The approach not only improved physical and psychological readiness but also allowed for patient stratification into responders and non-responders. Its implementation in clinical practice could enhance patient outcomes and reduce the burden of postoperative recovery.
