Prähabilitation im strahlentherapeutischen Kontext
摘要
Cancer prehabilitation comprises structured, individualised, predominantly multimodal interventions (exercise, nutrition, psychoeducation and risk-factor modification) delivered between diagnosis and treatment initiation; however, many studies still lack a clear definition.
ObjectiveThis study aims to describe the rationale, core components, entity-specific considerations and implementation options for prehabilitation in the radiotherapy setting.
MethodsWe performed a selective review of evidence-bearing literature in cohorts receiving radiotherapy.
ResultsMultimodal prehabilitation can increase functional reserve, reduce treatment interruptions and hospitalisations, potentially improve quality of life, and spare health services resources. For patients undergoing radiotherapy, entity-tailored modules (e.g., pelvic floor and swallowing training, bone health programmes, and inspiratory muscle training) and early initiation appear to be particularly relevant. Key outcome triad: complete, dose-intense and on-schedule radiotherapy delivery; toxicity; and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
ConclusionPrehabilitation in radiotherapy is feasible and clinically impactful. Standardised care pathways with systematic screening, multimodal intervention bundles, and quality-assured outcome tracking should be further evaluated and implemented.
