Gastric Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
Medical advancements are enhancing the survival rates of individuals with gastric cancer. The growing population of gastric cancer survivors underscores the importance of managing treatment-related after-effects and side effects. Diminished physical function in cancer patients, particularly following gastric cancer surgery, is linked to increased mortality. The substantial decline in physical activity post-surgery contributes to a notable reduction in cardiorespiratory fitness and lower extremity muscle strength. Early postoperative exercise has demonstrated positive outcomes in colorectal cancer patients, facilitating early hospital discharge and supporting long-term recovery. However, there is a paucity of research on the efficacy of early postoperative exercise in the context of gastric cancer. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the impact of early postoperative exercise on physical function following gastric cancer surgery.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALexercise
A total of 4 exercise interventions. Twice In-patient exercise interventions: exercises on the ward at POD1, and POD2, and Recommended walking and stretching. Twice home-based exercise interventions: post-discharge, Recommended 30 minutes of low to moderate-intensity walking and daily bodyweight exercises per day(150 minutes each week). and remote exercises 1 per week.
