Prehabilitation aims to improve patients' physical condition before a stressful event, such as surgery, and enhance recovery. Despite its potential benefits, many emerging prehabilitation programs face challenges in enrolling or retaining patients. In our prehabilitation study PHOCUS, which aims to prepare ovarian cancer patients for surgery, we have also encountered lower acceptance and retention rates. Particularly the most vulnerable patients, who are old and frail, and may benefit the most from the prehabilitation, decline participation due to the complexity of the proposed program. In our review we discussed obstacles and barriers that prevent patients' participation based on both literature and our experience. Among the main reasons are patient's low motivation, high intensity of the program and a lack of social support. To overcome these challenges, we suggest increasing the program's flexibility, adapting the program according to individual patient's needs and enhancing patients' education about the benefits of prehabilitation.

BACKGROUND: There are conflicting data on the relationship between preoperative electrocardiogram and postoperative mortality. We aimed to assess the predictive value of preoperative ECG on postoperative all-cause mortality in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (NCS). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed records of hospitalized patients who underwent an internal preoperative examination and subsequent NCS in the years 2015-2021. We recorded patient comorbidities, vital functions, results of biochemical tests, ECG. The primary end point was 90-day postoperative all-cause mortality, acquired from the hospital records and the nationwide registry run by the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic. RESULTS: We enrolled a total of 2219 patients of mean age 63 years (48% women). Of these, 152 (6.8%) died during the 90-day postoperative period. There were statistically significant associations between increased 90-day postoperative all-cause mortality and abnormal ECG findings in resting heart rate (≥ 80 bpm, relative risk [RR] = 1.82 and ≥ 100 bpm, RR = 2.57), presence of atrial fibrillation (RR = 4.51), intraventricular conduction delay (QRS > 0.12 s, RR = 2.57), ST segment changes and T wave alterations, left bundle branch hemiblock (RR = 1.64), and right (RR = 2.04) and left bundle branch block (RR = 4.13), but not abnormal PQ and QT intervals, paced rhythm, incomplete right bundle branch block, or other ECG abnormalities. A resting heart rate (≥ 80 bpm, relative risk [RR] = 1.95 and ≥ 100 bpm, RR = 2.20), atrial fibrillation (RR = 2.10), and right bundle branch block (RR = 2.52) were significantly associated with 90-day postoperative all-cause mortality even in subgroup of patients with pre-existing cardiac comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with abnormal preoperative ECG findings face an elevated risk of all-cause mortality within 90 days after surgery. The highest mortality risk is observed in patients with atrial fibrillation and left bundle branch block. Additionally, an elevated heart rate, right bundle branch block, and atrial fibrillation further increase the risk of death in patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Prehabilitation combines exercise, nutritional, and psychological interventions administered before surgery to improve patient outcomes. This comprehensive review and meta-analysis examined the feasibility, adherence, and effectiveness of prehabilitation in frail, high-risk individuals undergoing major abdominal surgery. METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Embase, and Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases to identify relevant studies evaluating prehabilitation programs published between 2010 and 2023, either as observational studies or randomized clinical trials (RCTs). RESULTS: The 23 articles (13 RCTs and 10 observational studies) included 1849 older male and female patients aged 68.7 ± 7.2 years. Nineteen of the included studies reported on adherence to prehabilitation programmes, which was generally good (>75%) over different models, settings, and durations. Factors such as patients' desire for expedited surgery, self-assessment of fitness, personal and professional obligations, health issues, holidays, and advancement of surgery dates negatively affected adherence to prehabilitation programmes. When compared with rehabilitation or standard pre- and post-surgical care, prehabilitation was associated with a 25%, albeit not statistically significant reduction in postoperative complications, according to data from 14 studies reporting on postoperative complications (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.48 to 1.17, P = 0.43; I2 = 65%). Prehabilitation has been found to improve the 6-min walk test significantly by 29.4 m (MD +29.4 m, 95% CI 5.6 to 53.3, P = 0.02; I2 = 39%), compared with rehabilitation or standard pre- and post-surgical care. CONCLUSION: Prehabilitation was acceptable to patients, with good adherence, and improved physical function.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique for analyzing the central and peripheral nervous system. TMS could be a powerful therapeutic technique for neurological disorders. TMS has also shown potential in treating various neurophysiological complications, such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorders, without pain and analgesics. Despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment, there has been an increase in the prevalence of brain cancer globally. For surgical planning, mapping brain tumors has proven challenging, particularly those localized in expressive regions. Preoperative brain tumor mapping may lower the possibility of postoperative morbidity in surrounding areas. A navigated TMS (nTMS) uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to enable precise mapping during navigated brain stimulation. The resulting magnetic impulses can be precisely applied to the target spot in the cortical region by employing nTMS. This review focuses on nTMS for preoperative planning for brain cancer. This study reviews several studies on TMS and its subtypes in treating cancer and surgical planning. nTMS gives wider and improved dimensions of preoperative planning of the motor-eloquent areas in brain tumor patients. nTMS also predicts postoperative neurological deficits, which might be helpful in counseling patients. nTMS have the potential for finding possible abnormalities in the motor cortex areas.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the diagnostic performance of ultrasonography in pre-operative assessment of lymph nodes in patients with cervical cancer, to compare the outcomes for pelvic and para-aortic regions, and to detect macrometastases and micrometastases separately. METHODS: Patients were retrospectively included if they met the following inclusion criteria: pathologically verified cervical cancer; ultrasonography performed by one of four experienced sonographers; surgical lymph node staging, at least in the pelvic region-sentinel lymph node biopsy or systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy or debulking. The final pathological examination was the reference standard. RESULTS: 390 patients met the inclusion criteria between 2009 and 2019. Pelvic node macrometastases (≥2 mm) were confirmed in 54 patients (13.8%), and micrometastases (≥0.2 mm and <2 mm) in another 21 patients (5.4%). Ultrasonography had sensitivity 72.2%, specificity 94.0%, and area under the curve (AUC) 0.831 to detect pelvic macrometastases, while sensitivity 53.3%, specificity 94.0%, and AUC 0.737 to detect both pelvic macrometastases and micrometastases (pN1). Ultrasonography failed to detect pelvic micrometastases, with sensitivity 19.2%, specificity 85.2%, and AUC 0.522. There was no significant impact of body mass index on diagnostic accuracy. Metastases in para-aortic nodes (macrometastases only) were confirmed in 16 of 71 patients who underwent para-aortic lymphadenectomy. Ultrasonography yielded sensitivity 56.3%, specificity 98.2%, and AUC 0.772 to identify para-aortic node macrometastases. CONCLUSION: Ultrasonography performed by an experienced sonographer can be considered a sufficient diagnostic tool for pre-operative assessment of lymph nodes in patients with cervical cancer, showing similar diagnostic accuracy in detection of pelvic macrometastases as reported for other imaging methods (18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT or diffusion-weighted imaging/MRI). It had low sensitivity for detection of small-volume macrometastases (largest diameter <5 mm) and micrometastases. The accuracy of para-aortic assessment was comparable to that for pelvic lymph nodes, and assessment of the para-aortic region should be an inseparable part of the examination protocol.

BACKGROUND: In addition to the diagnostic accuracy of imaging methods, patient-reported satisfaction with imaging methods is important. OBJECTIVE: To report a secondary outcome of the prospective international multicenter Imaging Study in Advanced ovArian Cancer (ISAAC Study), detailing patients' experience with abdomino-pelvic ultrasound, whole-body contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DWI/MRI) for pre-operative ovarian cancer work-up. METHODS: In total, 144 patients with suspected ovarian cancer at four institutions in two countries (Italy, Czech Republic) underwent ultrasound, CT, and WB-DWI/MRI for pre-operative work-up between January 2020 and November 2022. After having undergone all three examinations, the patients filled in a questionnaire evaluating their overall experience and experience in five domains: preparation before the examination, duration of examination, noise during the procedure, radiation load of CT, and surrounding space. Pain perception, examination-related patient-perceived unexpected, unpleasant, or dangerous events ('adverse events'), and preferred method were also noted. RESULTS: Ultrasound was the preferred method by 49% (70/144) of responders, followed by CT (38%, 55/144), and WB-DWI/MRI (13%, 19/144) (p<0.001). The poorest experience in all domains was reported for WB-DWI/MRI, which was also associated with the largest number of patients who reported adverse events (eg, dyspnea). Patients reported higher levels of pain during the ultrasound examination than during CT and WB-DWI/MRI (p<0.001): 78% (112/144) reported no pain or mild pain, 19% (27/144) moderate pain, and 3% (5/144) reported severe pain (pain score >7 of 10) during the ultrasound examination. We did not identify any factors related to patients' preferred method. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound was the imaging method preferred by most patients despite being associated with more pain during the examination in comparison with CT and WB-DWI/MRI. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03808792.
