Role of Prehabilitation in Patients Undergoing Cancer Surgeries
Journal Title: Research and Practice in Anesthesiology – Open Journal - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and nearly 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. It accounts for 8.8 million deaths in 2015. The occurrence of cancer is increasing and new cases are expected to rise by about 70% over the next 2 decades.1 With the advances in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, more number of cancer patients will undergo curative surgical procedures. However, the mortality and morbidity rates after major oncological surgical resection are still high and range between 4%-10% and 20%-60%, respectively.2,3 These high mortality and morbidity rates may be attributed to the patients’ physical status, combined stressful impact of malignancy, neoadjuvant therapies (NAT), or the surgical procedure on patient during peri-operative period.
