Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control group  Given standard care. Not be provided with any specific recommendations for prehabilitation before surgery. 
Intervention  Prehabilitation   Components including structured physical exercise, nutritional support, psychological counselling, and cessation of smoking and alcohol intake. 1.) A personalized, home-based exercise regimen will be prescribed by a physiotherapist. This regimen will entail sessions of incentive spirometry (3 sessions, each consisting of 3 sets of 10 inspiratory efforts with 5 minutes gap), Deep inspiration training and diaphragmatic breathing (The patient will lie on a flat surface and place one hand on the upper chest and the other below the rib cage to feel the movement of the diaphragm while breathing. Inhalation will be done slowly through the nose, causing the stomach to rise against the hand. Exhalation will involve tightening the stomach muscles and letting them fall inward while exhaling through pursed lips.), sit to stand (3 sets, 30 seconds each set) and climbing stairs/bicycling (2 sessions, 15 minutes per session). 2.) Nutritional support will involve protein supplementation with protein powder to fulfil daily protein requirements (1.5 g/kg of body weight) and calorie intake (35 kcal/kg of body weight), along with iron and multivitamin supplements. Patients will be instructed to ingest the protein supplement within one hour after their exercise routine to optimize muscle protein synthesis following exercise. 3.) During the initial visit, counseling and encouragement for quitting smoking and alcohol consumption will be provided. If necessary, psychological counseling will also be offered to enhance engagement and improve program effectiveness during the first visit.

Brief Summary  

Patients scheduled for esophago-gastric cancer surgery at Medanta Hospital will be enrolled in a multimodal prehabilitation program after randomization. This program will commence at least 2 weeks prior to the surgery and will encompass various components including structured physical exercise, nutritional support, psychological counselling, and cessation of smoking and alcohol intake. 

Patients will be provided with booklets to record daily self-assessments, and weekly assessments will be conducted by medical professionals. Adherence to the prehabilitation protocol for a minimum of two weeks will be mandatory. The leaflets will be collected from patients upon admission before surgery.

The analysis will include profiling of patients on different demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters. Descriptive analysis of quantitative parameters will be expressed as means and standard deviation. Categorical data will be expressed as absolute number and percentage. Independent Student t – test will be used for testing of mean between independent groups. Cross tables will be generated and Chi square test will be used for testing of associations. P-value < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. 

Patients will be followed up until discharge and up to 30 days following surgery. In case of readmission for the surgical complications within 30 days and surgical complications related mortality, the necessary data will be collected.

Clearer evidence that will most likely emerge from the analysis of the data will serve as useful reference for upper GI surgeons in India and around the world about effect of prehabilitation on postoperative complication in patients undergoing surgery for esophagogastric cancer.
