Cardiopulmonary exercise variables and their association with postoperative morbidity and mortality after major oesophagogastric cancer surgery-a multicentre observational study.

Article Synopsis
- Oesophagogastric cancer surgery outcomes are generally poor, leading researchers to investigate the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in predicting postoperative results, especially after neoadjuvant treatments.
- A study included 611 patients from seven UK centers, analyzing the relationship between peak oxygen uptake (VO peak) and one-year survival, finding no significant correlation, but noting that anaerobic threshold measures related to ideal body weight were predictive of three-year survival.
- Key factors influencing survival included tumor characteristics and major complications, with specific CPET metrics showing some predictive value but not universally across the entire cohort.
Multimodal Prehabilitation During Neoadjuvant Therapy Prior to Esophagogastric Cancer Resection: Effect on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Performance, Muscle Mass and Quality of Life-A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial.

Department of General Surgery, The Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust Hospital, Guildford, UK.
Background: Neoadjuvant therapy reduces fitness, muscle mass, and quality of life (QOL). For patients undergoing chemotherapy and surgery for esophagogastric cancer, maintenance of fitness is paramount. This study investigated the effect of exercise and psychological prehabilitation on anaerobic threshold (AT) at cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).
