Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether an app-based, patient-centered prehabilitation program improves preoperative functional capacity in adults scheduled for elective cancer surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the program increase the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) measured on the preoperative day (within 24-48 hours before surgery)?

Compared with usual care, does the program improve preoperative adherence to home 6MWT practice and patient-reported anxiety/depression (HADS)?

Researchers will compare an app-based prehabilitation program to usual care to see if the program improves preoperative functional capacity.

Participants will:

Use a study app to perform weekly home six-minute walk tests (6MWT) and complete brief daily check-ins (exercise, nutrition, psychological status) before surgery.

Attend routine preoperative admission (no extra visit) for in-hospital 6MWT (primary endpoint) and brief assessments (grip strength, Timed Up \& Go, HADS, skeletal muscle mass by InBody where available/fee-free).

Attend one routine postoperative outpatient visit at 3 or 6 months (site-standard timing) for follow-up assessments.

No additional study-specific clinic visits are required outside usual care.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

App-based prehabilitation program

A lightweight mobile/web application delivering a patient-centered prehabilitation program from randomization until surgery. Features include: weekly home six-minute walk tests (6MWT) logged in the app; brief daily check-ins for exercise performed, simple nutrition targets, and mood/stress; push reminders; short educational video/handout content; and CSV export for analysis. The app provides standardized instructions and safety prompts for the home 6MWT and basic validity checks (continuous 6 minutes, pause limits, outlier flags). No additional study-specific clinic visits are required beyond routine preoperative admission and one routine postoperative outpatient visit.

OTHER

Usual care (ERAS-standard perioperative care)

Standard perioperative counseling/education and routine mobilization per institutional ERAS practice. No study app is provided and no remote 6MWT logging is required. Outcome assessments are collected at routine preoperative admission (including in-hospital 6MWT per protocol) and at one routine postoperative outpatient visit (≈3 or 6 months per unified site policy). No additional study-specific clinic visits are required.
