Efcacy ofPrehabilitation inAbdominal Cancer Surgery

Introduction
Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death globally [1]. Major surgical resection, with or without neoadjuvant treatment (chemo/radiotherapy), is the only curative treatment option. However, surgery is not without risk. Despite its excellent survival benet, this treatment carries a signicant burden to patients and the health care system, as many surgical patients develop short—and/or long-term complications [2]. Death within 30days after surgery is the third leading cause of death worldwide [3], and one­quarter of patients suffer major postoperative complications such as respiratory infections [4]. This risk is predominantly driven by a subgroup of high-risk patients (as detailed below), where approximately 12% of patients and 12% of surgical pro­cedures (predominantly major abdominal surgery) account for more than 80% of postoperative complications [5].

It is anticipated that the number of patients with increased surgical risk will increase three-fold over the next 30years, due to a rising number of patients over 50years receiving surgery, adversely impacting healthcare budgets. This is driven by an ageing global population, with associated increased co-morbid disease, and the prevalent use of neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy/radiotherapy before sur­gery) that deconditions patients before cancer surgery [6].
L. Edbrooke etal.
Whole Body Prehabilitation
Prehabilitation modies the preoperative deconditioned state by improving the physiologic capacity of patients to withstand the stressor of major surgery. Prehabilitation is commonly delivered as a multimodal intervention bundle tai­lored to the individual and comprising medical optimisation for example, assess­ment of haematinics and treatment including iron infusions (as appropriate), smoking cessation, patient education delivered by the multidisciplinary team (including pain management, the importance of early mobilisation), exercise, nutrition and psychological support [7]. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are multimodal perioperative care pathways designed to achieve early recovery after surgical procedures [8]. Even though they have a different structure they usually include preoperative counselling, preoperative nutrition (including avoidance of strict perioperative fasting, and carbohydrate loading up to 2h preop­eratively), standardised anaesthetic and analgesic regimens (epidural and nonopi­oid analgesia) and early mobilisation. Often, both are included in the care package of ERAS Plus.
Randomised Trials
In a multicentre trial in colorectal cancer surgery (n=251), participants were ran­domised to receive 4weeks of supervised, multimodal prehabilitation or standard care (ERAS pathway with no additional nutrition, exercise or psychological coun­selling). Prehabilitation included exercise, nutrition, psychosocial support, and smoking cessation (if required). The number of severe complications was signi­cantly lower (OR 0.47 [95%CI 0.26–0.87]; p=0.02), along with fewer medical complications (e.g., respiratory) compared with standard care (OR 0.48 [95%CI
0.26–0.89]; p=0.02). Between-group 6-min walk test distance, 4weeks postopera­tively, was not signicantly different. Unfortunately, the trial was ceased early due to the COVID-19 pandemic and did not reach its powered sample size [9].
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses [1018] similarly support multidisci­plinary prehabilitation to reduce operative risks and improve postoperative patient outcomes, although not all aspects of patient recovery have been found to be

signicant. Given the large number of trials in prehabilitation in the past 10 years McIsaac et al. performed an overview of systematic reviews which included 55 reviews examining the efcacy of prehabilitation [19]. Moderate-certainty evidence (GRADE) favouring prehabilitation (either uni—or multimodal) to improve func­tional recovery was reported the 6-min walk test (6MWT). However, evidence cer­tainty in favor of prehabilitation over standard care for the outcomes of complications, discharge destination and hospital length of stay was graded low to very low certainty.
83
Respiratory Prehabilitation
Depending on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) denition, incidence can range from 10 to 60% [4, 20]. PPCs are associated with worse postoperative outcomes including prolonged length of hospital stay [4], hospital readmissions [21], and worse quality of life [22]. As occurs with prehabilitation in general, respi­ratory education and training should be provided prior to surgery to target preven­tion of PPC [23]. Nearly 50% of all PPCs develop within the rst two postoperative days, with many developing on the rst day [24]. Deep breathing exercises, cough­ing instruction and the reasons these are important can be explained to patients in the preoperative period.
Boden etal. compared usual care with one 30-min face to face education session prior to surgery delivered within existing preadmission clinics. The patient educa­tion session included an explanation of surgical impact on the lungs, deep breathing instruction, and practise. This randomised trial of 440 patients reported a halving of PPC after major abdominal surgery (adjusted hazard ratio 0.48, 95% condence interval 0.30 to 0.75, p=0.001), reduced 12-month mortality in patients who did not develop a PPC and found the intervention cost effective [25, 26]. These results are supported in a meta-analysis (n=1345) that provides moderate certainty evidence for respiratory physiotherapy in reducing PPC [27].
Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT)
Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is strength training specically targeting the skel­etal muscles responsible for inspiration.A load on the inspiratory muscles is gener­ated through a mouth-held device [28]. The efcacy of IMT [29] as a breathing technique taught preoperatively is supported for patients undergoing cardiac and thoracic surgery [10] but to date no trials have reported efcacy in the colorectal surgical population. In patients with oesophageal cancers IMT is recommended pre- operatively due to the demonstrated benets in improving pulmonary func­tion [30].

Who Needs Prehabilitation?
Modiable risk factors (deconditioning, malnutrition, psychological distress) impact surgical outcomes. Deconditioning: Physical tness predicts complications after major cancer surgery [31, 32]. Neoadjuvant therapy, chemo—and/or radio­therapy prior to major surgery, further impairs functional capacity, and importantly this may be offset with exercise-based prehabilitation [33]. Malnutrition: About 26% of hospitalised patients are malnourished, and a greater proportions (39%) of patients are nutritionally at-risk. In abdominal cancer surgery, 44% of patients are malnourished, with associated increased hospital length of stay complications or death after surgery [34].
The “Higher-Risk” Surgical Patient
These patients are typically older, have multiple comorbidities and functional limi­tations including deconditioning, malnutrition and sarcopenia (muscle wasting), and may be frail [35]. Frailty is a multidimensional clinical syndrome characterised by reduced physiological reserve against stressors due to age-related disability. However, a common denition (and measurement) of frailty is lacking. Frailty is associated with poor treatment tolerance, adverse postoperative outcomes, and higher risk of mortality; and these factors worsen with more severe frailty. The role of prehabilitation in frail individuals has not been extensively studied but in general the current evidence is supportive of prehabilitation to improve function in this patient group. Frail patients may need more prolonged intervention (more than 4–5weeks) to experience functional gains [36].
The Impact ofNeo-Adjuvant Cancer Treatments
Patients receiving neo-adjuvant treatments may also be at higher risk.Chemo/radio­therapy related side effects including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and fatigue are common and impact nutrition, weight, body composition, and functional status [37,
38]. These contribute further to the development of adverse events and inordinately
high cost of care [39]. In the EMPOWER trial participants were randomised to receive either hospital-based exercise or routine care,post-neoadjuvant treatment and prior to surgery. Adherence was high with participants attending 91% of sched­uled sessions.Exercise capacity improved signicantly following the intervention (between-group mean difference (95% CI) for the change in oxygen uptake (VO at anaerobic threshold (AT) = 2.9 mL/kg/min (0.8 to 5.1), p =0.011) [40]. Pilot studies demonstrate safety, feasibility, and trends towards positive outcomes

favouring prehabilitation in rectal cancer surgery [41]; however, further high- quality research is required regarding the efcacy of prehabilitation during neoadjuvant therapies prior to abdominal cancer surgery.
Stepped Care
Escalating interventions can be individualised to the severity of risk and to the patient’s response. Current recommendations are to provide stepped, individualised interventions based on risk assessment (Fig.6.1, adapted from Macmillan Cancer Support) [42]. Not all centres use this stepped approach and it may need modica­tion depending on the demographics of the population referred for prehabilitation.
This model of prehabilitation care shows three levels of stepped multimodal prehabilitation: Universal, Targeted and Specialised prehabilitation and was devel­oped by an international working group for the Macmillan Cancer Support group in partnership with the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the National Institute of Health Research (UK) [42]. Universal prehabilitation targets all patients and focuses on educating patients and improving patient self-efcacy and empower­ment before surgery. Patients (with a family member or friend) may receive educa­tion from content experts, with presentations on their surgical pathway, the importance of exercise, physical activity, nutrition, stress reduction, pain manage­ment and oral and respiratory care. This may be delivered face to face or by webinar

or videos supported with written educational materials. Patients may also be taught the principles of ERAS and encouraged to participate in their care journey. Risk factor triggers can identify patients requiring Targeted or Specialised Care levels of prehabilitation, centred on exercise, nutritional and psychological support. Research to assess outcomes from the Universal component of prehabilitation has not yet been undertaken.
Patients receiving Targeted prehabilitation are commonly prescribed an indi­vidual exercise programme, consisting of aerobic exercise and strength training. Exercise prescription and progression follow the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines and FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Type and Time) principles to achieve progressive overload and maximise gains [43]. Aerobic exercise is performed as continuous or interval training—commonly using a treadmill or stationary cycling. Resistance training involves upper and lower limb exercises of the major muscle groups using machines, resistance bands, body weight, or free­weights. This is often prescribed at moderate intensity initially, with the aim to progress towards higher intensities. Intensity may be prescribed and exercise pro­gressed based on ndings from the patient’s cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) using maximal heart rate at the point of peak oxygen uptake (HR max at VO
), or using the Borg scale (aiming to start at 3–4/10 ‘somewhat hard’
2 peak
level) [44].
It is recommended that exercise sessions include behaviour change strategies, including setting of personalised goals. Patients are commonly also prescribed a home exercise programme, aiming to work towards the guidelines of achieving 150 min of moderate-intensity physical activity per week [45]. Individualised dietary advice is given dependent on the patient’s anthropometric and nutritional assessment ndings and this advice can include education to optimise nutrition to achieve adequate energy and protein intake, oral protein supplementation, and enteral or parenteral nutrition, if required. Immunonutrition,providing nutrients in larger amounts than required to regulate immune activities, is not used consistently but is shown to reduce postoperative complications (infections, anastomotic leak) and hospital length of stay following gastrointestinal cancer surgery [46]. Psychological support during prehabilitation is aimed at helping patients prepare for surgery and addresses any factors which may impact on the ability to engage with additional aspects of the prehabilitation programme. Psychological interventions may include psycho-education, stress management, problem solving, motivational therapy, and cognitive behavioural approaches [47].Screening and risk assessment are needed to use this model wisely and to direct resources to those most in need of prehabilitation. Table6.1 describes commonly used screening and assessment mea­sures to risk stratify patients to receive Universal, Targeted or Specialized prehabilitation.

Controversies inPrehabilitation
While prehabilitation as a ‘package of care’ is shown to improve patient outcomes, the components included vary between centres. The denition of prehabilitation also varies, for example the inclusion of the medical optimisation of anaemia and smoking cessation could be considered to be standard medical care but are often included in the prehabilitation package. In the McIsaac overview, only four reviews (7%) delineated how prehabilitation was dened to inform review inclusion eligibil­ity [19]. Risk stratication is important before surgery but many different tools are used to assess risk such as the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) calculator, American Society of Anesethesiologists’ (ASA) classication, and the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT) risk index. However, these tools do not take into account the social determinants of health which are shown to impact recovery outcomes [48].
In colorectal cancer the length of prehabilitation interventions requires addi­tional research. What is the minimum period preoperatively needed to be effective? The prehabilitation intervention time needed to enhance patient tness is debated in the literature with variations between a minimum of 2weeks or 4weeks of interven­tion remaining a controversy [37]. This may be dependent on the patient preopera­tive condition and the cancer surgery planned. For example, the more frail and deconditioned patients may need a longer prehabilitation intervention.
Whilst most research involves combined aerobic and resistance exercise inter­ventions there is a need for further research regarding optimal exercise intervention types, according to individual needs and surgery type, which are feasible to deliver during the prehabilitation period. The most common components included in preha­bilitation are aerobic, resistance and respiratory training with nutrition intervention commonly added [37]. With a focus on pre-operative aerobic tness, a comparative review of prehabilitation prior to abdominal cancer surgery found three out of four included studies reported signicant increases in VO

moderate- intensity exercise training reported signicant changes in aerobic tness [49]. However, others report signicant outcomes for moderate intensity activity. One study compared high to moderate intensity interval training in 42 patients before surgery for colorectal cancer and found both improved short term VO

Prehabilitation publications also vary regarding the setting of interventions, home or hospital based, supervised or unsupervised. The consensus regarding supervised exercise interventions is that they are superior to unsupervised in impact on both adherence to exercise and outcomes of tness and/or strength [51]. Home based exercises can be supervised using video conferencing or web based real time methods [52].
Finally, the reporting of interventions and measurement of specic outcomes is variable. In the McIsaac overview, only thirty-ve (64%) reviews reported the dura­tion of prehabilitation [19]. Guidelines regarding reporting are needed to improve comparisons between trials and a core set of outcomes that are measured will allow greater combinations of trials in future meta-analyses.
Case Reports
These cases were accessed from our centre where prehabilitation is included as usual care in abdominal cancer surgery. Each case detailed below attended ‘surgery school’ as part of the Universal approach to prehabilitation. This online education session, including question and answer time, from the multidisciplinary team included topics what to expect; pain management; optimising muscle and nutrition; the role of exercise and the importance of respiratory care and early mobilisation; and preparing psychologically for surgery. Education followed respiratory preha­bilitation principles to reduce the risk of postoperative complications (covering
active deep breathing, cough, oral care, understanding your surgery and recovery, getting out of bed and head of bed elevation; aCOUGH). Both patients were edu-
cated about the importance of performing Active Cycle of Breathing Techniques (ACBT) in the pre—and early postoperative periods.
Case 1—Mr. D
Mr. D is a 72-year-old man with a non-English speaking background who lives with his wife. An ex-smoker, he had previously worked as a gardener and enjoys 3–4 standard alcoholic drinks per day. His past history includes mild osteoarthritis in both hips and hypertension.
Following reporting to his GP some swallowing difculties and a sensation of pressure in his chest, Mr. D underwent investigations and was diagnosed with an oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. He was scheduled for high-risk surgery, an oesophagectomy, following 6weeks of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Key points along Mr. D’s prehabilitation pathway are summarised in Fig.6.2. As part of his surgical consultation, he was referred to prehabilitation by his surgical team, due to the high risk of the planned procedure. His Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) score
