Surgical Prehabilitation of Cancer Patients Undergoing Colorectal Resection.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Psychological distress is common among adults newly diagnosed with cancer and those awaiting cancer treatment(s). Although preoperative psychological distress has been shown to be associated with poorer physical health and adverse treatments among colorectal cancer survivors, few psychological interventions have been developed to reduce distress, and improve physical health in the preoperative period. Moreover, whether a preoperative psychological intervention, delivered in addition to a multimodal Prehabilitation program can improve psychological and physical health remains unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot cohort study was to examine the impact of a structured psychological intervention, given in addition to standard Prehabilitation, on preoperative psychological health and functional capacity in colorectal cancer patients awaiting surgery.
