Detailed description of multidisciplinary prehabilitation in patients admitted to nerve sparring radical prostatectomy - A randomized feasibility study protocol.

Background: Localized prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy is highly effective, though severe side-effects are common after the surgery. Prehabilitation is an approach to optimize patient's physical and mental resources before surgery, to improve postoperative outcomes. The feasibility of a multi-modal home-based prehabilitation program, delivered using telehealth in patients awaiting radical prostatectomy is unknown.

The use of digital technologies to support home-based prehabilitation prior to major surgery: A systematic review.

Background: Prehabilitation is a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach, to prepare patients for surgery, with the aim of improving postoperative outcomes. Worldwide, healthcare systems are facing challenges with a gap between demand and supply of healthcare services. Telehealth is seen as a solution for delivering sustainable and efficient treatments.

Supervised exercise therapy compared with no exercise therapy to reverse debilitating effects of androgen deprivation therapy in patients with prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with prostate cancer can have several debilitating side effects. Supervised exercise is recommended to ameliorate these negative effects.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effect of supervised exercise therapy compared to no exercise therapy in patients with prostate cancer undergoing ADT, primarily according to the patient critical outcomes, 'disease-specific quality of life' and 'walking performance' measured at end of treatment.
