Prehabilitation for Elderly Patients With Advanced Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma and Pancreatic Cancer Undergoing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Case Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
The purpose of this study is to see whether participants who are assigned to a multimodal prehabilitation intervention during chemotherapy are able to adhere with exercise and nutrition program to prepare for their cancer surgery.
Description
Elderly participants with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) are often frail and malnourished. Both chemotherapy and disease burden are associated with a decline in muscle mass leading to decrease in physical strength and cardiovascular fitness. Limited efforts have focused on decreasing morbidity at time of chemotherapy and surgery and improving functional capacity. Exercise during chemotherapy has been shown to improve chemotherapy related symptoms and quality of life in participants with breast cancer participants.…
