First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study tests a live online group class called GoPREPARE that teaches people how to get fitter, eat better, and manage stress before major cancer surgery. Researchers will recruit 24 patients awaiting surgery and randomly assign them to either the class or standard care. The goal is not to prove the class works, but to see if a larger trial is possible by measuring recruitment, dropouts, and patient and staff experiences.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

GoPREPARE (virtual group education and behaviour change intervention)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a larger trial that may show virtual prehabilitation reduces complications and improves recovery after cancer surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a very small feasibility study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention may not improve outcomes or be practical to deliver.
