Prehabilitation may cut surgery risks in ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT04862325
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a program called prehabilitation—which helps patients get stronger and healthier before surgery—can lower the chance of problems after surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. About 146 women having surgery for ovarian cancer will take part. The goal is to see if this approach leads to fewer complications and faster recovery.
