Summary

This study tests whether adding psychosocial (emotional) support to standard prehabilitation helps patients with localized pancreatic cancer during neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy/radiation before surgery). Sixty adults will receive nutritional advice, physical therapy, and psychosocial care. The main goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable to patients.

Active substance
psychosocial care
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding emotional support to standard prehabilitation helps pancreatic cancer patients better cope with treatment side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study (60 people) at one center, so results may not apply widely. The main goal is just to see if patients accept the program, not to prove it improves health.
