Gastric cancer is a major health issue and one of the most common malignance in Korea. With
the popularization of cancer screenings and increasing the average lifespan, the number of
gastric cancer patients is increased. In the past, most of the research were concerned with
survival and recovery after cancer surgery. However, as the medical technology had been
developed and recovery rate and survival rate of cancer patients had risen, the patients
wanted to return to a daily life and desire for participation for leisure. In other words,
the patients who underwent surgery wants to maintain a high quality of life(QOL) level as
like prior to cancer surgery.
There are many reports on the effect of the exercise program after cancer surgery. In
addition, exercise program was associated with improving the QOL and functional recovery,
decreasing a mood of depression, maintaining a muscle mass and improving the survival rate.
However, the subject patients of previous studies were Western people. Therefore, The results
were not disclosed whether the exercise program suited to the body characteristics of Korean
people. Furthermore there was no exercise program studies for the gastric cancer patients.
Medical service for cancer patients care should include not only diagnosis, treatment as like
surgery but efforts on enhancing the quality of life. In other words, post-management
education and management program as like exercise program are necessary for the cancer
patients after surgery. So, the research about how to practice the exercise program and how
to evaluate the effect on the recovery is needed.
