What this means
A new trial will test whether an app-based exercise and check-in program helps adults walk farther before cancer surgery. The trial has not started recruiting, so no results exist yet.

Registry 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.
