Article Synopsis
- Gastric cancer (GC) in elderly patients is a significant global health issue, leading to higher risks of complications and negative outcomes due to frailty and treatment effects.
- A new study is being conducted to compare a multimodal prehabilitation program combined with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway against standard ERAS treatment in 368 older patients with GC, focusing on improving recovery outcomes.
- The study aims to evaluate the impact of the prehabilitation program on postoperative complications, survival rates, functional capacity, and overall quality of life for these patients.
