Prospective Randomised Trial of Exercise and / or Antioxidants in COlorectal Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK. Surgical resection is the mainstay of curative therapy. With the screening program enabling early detection, surgery plays an important role in treatment strategies. Surgery imparts a significant physiological and psychological stress on cancer patients.Recent research has demonstrated that a fast-track approach utilising regional anaesthesia, early mobilisation and good oral intake can improve outcomes by reducing the physiological stress response to surgery. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a defined exercise programme can improve recovery and reduce complications after surgery.
