Abstract
Background: The Pre-EMPT study aimed to determine if structured exercise could reduce length of stay, post-operative complications and improve fitness and health-related quality of life (HQRL) in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and oesophagectomy. Methods: A prospective non-randomised trial compared a standard care pathway (control) to a structured prehabilitation exercise programme (intervention) commenced before NAC and surgery for oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Length of hospital stay and post-operative complications were recorded. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPEX), body composition analyses, lymphocyte levels and HRQL questionnaires were performed at multiple time points. Results: Median length of stay was similar in both groups. There were 6 versus 11 complications observed (intervention vs control p = 0.086). Cardio-pulmonary fitness (VO2peak) declined after NAC, but less in the intervention group (intervention −13.54% vs control −21.40%, p = 0.02). Body composition improved in the intervention group (FMi/FFMi −5.5% intervention, 10.7% control p = 0.043). Performance, cognitive, sleep and emotional function scores improved following NAC in the intervention group. Lymphocyte subsets increased in the intervention group compared to the control group after chemotherapy (p = 0.034). Chemotherapy response was improved in the intervention group (p = 0.022). Conclusion: A structured exercise programme may mitigate cardiopulmonary deconditioning, reduce sarcopenia and offset lymphopenia, during chemotherapy, in patients undergoing NAC and oesophagectomy.
