About

A prospective multicenter observational cost-utility study following older or high-risk patients with colorectal cancer with and without prehabilitation before surgery.

Full description

This study will answer the question whether prehabilitation is cost-effective in colorectal cancer surgery among individual patients aged 70 years and above or patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of III. We also aim to identify factors facilitating or impairing implementation of prehabilitation such that it is cost-effective.
