Day One of #BLADDR24 Presenter: Dr Celena Scheede-Bergdahl RC and neobladder Topic: Prehabilitation programme Prehabilitation is a process in cancer care that takes place between diagnosis and the start of acute treatment, focusing on physical and psychological assessments to establish a baseline functional level, identify impairments, and provide interventions to promote overall health. The goal is to reduce the risk and severity of future complications. Patient preferences play a crucial role in designing patient-centered programs, addressing barriers to adherence, and understanding what patients are willing to engage in. Evidence suggests that prehabilitation can lead to lasting changes in physical activity and exercise behaviors, with benefits extending even beyond 12 months. It can be implemented before or during chemotherapy or radiation therapy, with exercise intensity adjusted based on the additional stress of treatment, and monitored using tools like the Borg scale to tailor intensity to the patient's daily condition. @UrsulaVogl @PGrivasMDPhD @achoud72 @ZilliThomas @fabioturco92 @nataliagandur @yekeduz_emre @bavilima @niklas_kluemper @DrYukselUrun @mirrorsmed @bkonety @evacomperat @Achard_Verane @daandm @mdesantis234 @KilianGust @bkonety @CLebacle @LAUrology_NL @Renate_Pichler @DanieleRaggi83 @CelenaBergdahl @bm_deruiter
