Trial Phase: Phase III: A multi-centre efficacy pragmatic factorial design randomised controlled trial with patient informed development and process evaluation
Indication: Patients undergoing major electively resectable intra - cavity cancer surgery with or without neoadjuvant cancer treatments (including chemotherapy (NAC), chemoradiotherapy (CRT), or immunotherapy).
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of a community based Structured Responsive Exercise-training Programme (SRETP) ± psychological support on surgical outcome by reducing postoperative length of stay (LOS) and complications.
Secondary Objective:
To investigate the efficacy of a community based Structured Responsive Exercise-training Programme (SRETP) ± psychological support to improve disease-free overall survival. Cardiopulmonary Exercise test (CPET) variables, physical activity, morbidity, radiological markers of sarcopenia, toxicity, tumour down-staging, tumour regression, disability adjusted survival (WHODAS) overall survival and quality of life (QoL).
Rationale: Fitter patients have better surgical outcomes. Poor physical fitness measured objectively using cardiopulmonary exercise testing has been associated with increased LOS, increased morbidity and mortality in many patient cohorts undergoing major cancer surgery. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy have detrimental effects on physical fitness, which may in turn have a detrimental effect on the patients' ability to withstand surgery. Research suggests psychological factors including depression and self-efficacy (confidence to manage cancer-related problems) prior to surgery predict recovery trajectories in health-related quality of life up to 2 years after major surgery for colorectal cancer.
The aim is to investigate whether SRETP (Prehabilitation) ± psychological support prior to and during cancer treatment before major elective surgery reduces LOS, increases survival and improves their ability to self manage. Additionally, we aim to see if this intervention can bring about long-term behavioural change in relation to physical activity.
Trial Design: Phase III: A pragmatic factorial design randomised controlled to assess the effectiveness of a prehabilitation programme delivered prior to cancer treatments and/or major cancer surgery in patients undergoing elective intra-cavity major cancer surgery in Wessex.

| SRETP | Behavioral | SRETP will involve short periods of exercise at a high intensity interspersed with short periods of exercise at a moderate intensity (aerobic interval training). We will also include resistance training in each session. Exercise intensities during the interval exercise-training program are specific to each patient and derived from CPET. Moderate intensity exercise is below the anaerobic threshold (AT). Patients will exercise at 80% of oxygen uptake (VO2) obtained at the anaerobic threshold (80%AT) for moderate intensity exercise - 3 minutes. Severe exercise intensity is recognised as 50% of the difference between the VO2 AT and VO2 Peak (50%∆) - 2 minutes. |

A clinically significant difference in physical fitness is defined as ≥ 2ml/min/kg VO2 at AT. | up to 15 weeks |

| Psychological support | Behavioral | Support sessions will be patient-centred, giving the patient an opportunity to raise any issues/concerns they are having, this may include (but will not be limited to) ways of coping with their reactions to cancer, family and relationship issues, exploring personal issues and dealing with practical issues. Patients will have access to other resources available at the cancer centres including but not restricted to further information about their condition and how to access financial support. These processes reflect the best practice currently being delivered by cancer support centre staff in the Wessex region. Any patient deemed at risk (i.e. from suicidal ideation or self harm) will be reported to their GP, followed up by a letter. |
