What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effects of a multimodal prehabilitation program on patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. The study involves randomizing participants into two groups: one receiving a comprehensive prehabilitation program that includes physical exercises, nutritional guidance, and mental health support, and a control group. The program lasts for four weeks prior to surgery, with outcomes assessed at multiple time points to evaluate recovery in quality of life, functional results, and perioperative anxiety.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are men with localized prostate cancer who are scheduled for robotic radical prostatectomy.
Not a fit: Patients with non-localized prostate cancer or those who have had previous pelvic radiotherapy or surgery may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could lead to faster recovery and improved quality of life for patients after prostate surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with multimodal prehabilitation approaches in surgical settings, suggesting potential for success in this trial.
