Exercise Intervention Prior to CRS-HIPEC: Feasibility & Impact
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Colon Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, GI Cancer, Gynecologic Cancer
In brief
Our objective is to initiate an exercise program for patients with advanced GI or Gyn cancer, as prehabilitation prior to surgery. The objective of the prehabilitation program is to reduce complication rates and improve the length and quality of survival for patients with abdominal cancer. The prehabilitation program will be offered to patients who are eligible for and consent to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC)
