Effects of perioperative exercise therapy

Effects of perioperative exercise therapy on cardiorespiratory fitness and postoperative complications in patients with colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis | Supportive Care in Cancer

Nazib Khan, GRICS Cancer Service Improvement Coordinator, has drawn on research as part of his PhD, contributing to a newly published peer-reviewed journal article with his research team. The paper, “Effects of perioperative exercise therapy on cardiorespiratory fitness and postoperative complications in patients with colorectal cancer,” presents compelling evidence that perioperative exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness and ventilatory thresholds in colorectal cancer patients. This important research encourages clinicians and allied health professionals to incorporate exercise into recovery pathways to enhance outcomes for cancer patients. Congratulations to Nazib and the team on this meaningful contribution to cancer care and survivorship research.
