Learning objectives:
After listening to this episode, participants will be able to:
- Define the role and components of prehabilitation in the context of thoracic oncology and ERAS/ESTS guidelines.
- Interpret key findings from recent clinical trials on prehabilitation, including outcomes related to functional capacity and readmission rates.
- Identify socioeconomic and structural barriers to prehabilitation participation and discuss strategies to improve equitable access to these interventions.
- Apply evidence-based criteria to assess which patients may benefit most from preoperative nutrition and exercise interventions.
- Recognize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration—including social work and patient navigation—in optimizing surgical readiness and long-term outcomes.
