Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
There is a general concern that the backlog of cancer patients waiting for surgery during this period is going to increase and the general impact on patients isolated in their homes is going to cause potential physiological and psychological impairments. Therefore, we propose a distanced-delivered personalized home-based prehabilitation program to all cancer patients scheduled for surgery at the MUHC. The program will be delivered by qualified professionals, supported by technology provided by POP, to all cancer patients waiting for surgery, addressing the patients' risk factors in patients' pandemic reality perspective. Participant contacts will primarily occur virtually using technologies such as video conferencing and digital applications. This will enable us to continue to support people with cancer and deliver safe remote counseling by specialist healthcare providers in their own homes, whilst adhering to the Governmental guidelines on social distancing, self-isolation and shielding.
