Treatment and study plan

Prehabilitation

Other

Patients will be included in a prehabilitation program

Primary outcomes

  1. Post-surgical recovery time

    Time frame: More than 2 days

    To determine if there is a reduction in post-surgical recovery time until the start of adjuvant therapy in patients with abdominopelivoc cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise.

  2. Post-surgical readmisions

    Time frame: until 4 weeks from surgery

    To determine if there is a reduction in the number of readmisions in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Self-care capacity

    Time frame: before surgery

    To know if there is an improvement in the self-care capacity mesured by the Appraisal of Self-care Agency Scale (ASA) scale in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Pre-habilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise. Minimum value: 24 y Maximum value: 96. Higher scores mean a better outcomes.

  2. Anxiety levels

    Time frame: before surgery

    To establish whether there is a decrease in preoperative anxiety levels mesured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise.

  3. Aerobic capacity

    Time frame: before surgery

    To determine if there is an improvement in aerobic capacity mesured by walking test in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise. Higher scores mean a better outcomes.

  4. Flexibility

    Time frame: before surgery

    To determine if there is an improvement flexibility mesured by set and reach test in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise. Higher scores mean a better outcomes.

  5. Strength

    Time frame: before surgery

    To determine if there is an improvement strength mesured by hand grip in patients with abdominopelvic cancer after their incorporation into the Prehabilitation program in self-care and directed physical exercise.
