Breast Cancer Res Treat

Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and prehabilitation may enhance physical and psychological health before treatment, leading to the goal of examining its effectiveness.
- A systematic review of 3184 studies narrowed down to 14 articles showed that prehabilitation generally involves exercise programs and complementary therapies, which were found to improve physical function and quality of life for patients.
- The study suggests that while prehabilitation has positive outcomes for breast cancer patients, future research should focus on longer intervention times and diverse participant groups for comprehensive results.
