Matthew Wallen, Academic Lead and Senior Lecturer in Exercise Science and Clinical Exercise Physiology at Flinders University, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in Supportive Care in Cancer:
“Have you ever wondered what patients, families, and clinicians really think about prehabilitation before cancer surgery?
The message is clear:
- Strong support for prehabilitation from patients and their family members
- Barriers like access, travel, and low awareness still get in the way
- Flexible, well-communicated programs with recommendations from surgical and oncology staff could dramatically boost uptake
Congratulations to Rohan Miegel on the first of many publications from his PhD!
Proud to share this work from our team, helping shape the future of how we integrate prehabilitation as part of standard cancer care.”
