| Core Tip |
Gastric and oesophageal cancer resections are major surgeries often linked with significant complications and lengthy recovery. This meta-analysis of 16 randomised controlled trials demonstrates that prehabilitation–which involves structured physical, nutritional, and psychological preparation before surgery–can significantly reduce postoperative complications, hospital readmissions, and length of stay. It also improves patients’ preoperative physical fitness, as reflected in better performance on the six-minute walk test. These findings support the incorporation of prehabilitation into routine care pathways for upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery. |
