Clinical Trial Summary

Surgical resection is the mainstay for gastric cancer. Surgical stress response, like insulin resistance and catabolism, is inevitable and is a risk factor for postoperative outcome. To cope with this stress, the enhanced recovery protocol has been proposed and successfully implemented in clinical practice. Recently, prehabilitation have attracted increasingly attention, which is the preoperative part of enhanced recovery pathway. Prehabtilitation are bundles of evidenced elements in order to improve patient's functional capacity. Patients with gastric cancer are usually suffered from nutritional risk, anxiety and frailty. In this trial, we investigate whether multimodal prehabilitation (exercise, nutrition and psychological support) could improve patient's functional status to better tolerate surgical trauma.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• aerobic exercise; resistance exercise; nutritional support; psychological support
Patient with gastric cancer received two weeks of prehabilitation intervention. An individualized exercise program was established according to the FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type) principle. Aerobic exercise: 3-5 times/week, 30-60 min jogging or brisk walking per time, intensity based on heart rate and modified Borg-scale. Resistance exercise: 2-3 times/week, 10-12 RM per sets, 2-3 sets with 2 min interval rest, seated knee up, knee extension, etc. Nutritional support: 30kcal/kg/d, 1.5mg/kg/d protein, oral nutritional supplement with suggested recipes. Psychological support: provided with guidance on gastric cancer, regular online chat through Wechat, alcohol quitting, smoking cessation and light music.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Duke Activity Status Index before surgery	Duke Activity Status Index score is a 12-item self-reported questionnaire that assesses daily activities such as personal care, ambulation, household tasks, and recreation with respective metabolic costs. Duke Activity Status Index score ranges from 0 to 58.2. The higher score indicates the better functional status. Duke Activity Status Index has been recommended by European Society of Cardiology guidelines for functional assessment of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
