Multimodal Prehabilitation During Chemotherapy in Patients With Colorectal Liver Metastases

Sponsor: Institut Investigacio Sanitaria Pere Virgili

Summary

Liver resection is the only curative treatment for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Most patients undergo chemotherapy (CT) before liver surgery. CT objectively decreases patient functional capacity. It has already been demonstrated that a structured training program carried out during the 4 weeks following CT, while the patient is waiting for liver resection, is able to return the functional capacity to baseline levels. Despite this, multimodal prehabilitation programs (MPP) during preoperative CT have not been evaluated or implemented. The aim of this study is to investigate whether a 16-week MPP applied during and following CT in CRLM patients will result in a significant increase in physical fitness when compared to those that undergo MPP only during the 4-weeks, between the end of CT and liver resection.
