Evidence-Based Comprehensive Prehabilitation for Breast Cancer Treatment and Surgery

This book equips healthcare professionals with a practical, evidence-based roadmap for preparing patients with breast cancer through comprehensive prehabilitation. Moving beyond traditional care, it explores how modifiable factors such as nutrition, pain management, sleep, psychological well-being, physical conditioning, and social support can profoundly influence recovery, complications, quality of life, and long-term outcomes. Designed specifically for the unique needs of breast cancer patients, the book bridges the gap between oncology, surgery, reconstruction, and supportive care. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the current landscape of breast cancer treatment before diving into actionable strategies for optimizing patients before surgery, during systemic therapy, and throughout recovery. Special attention is given to the challenges posed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and breast reconstruction. Written by leading experts across breast surgery, plastic surgery, oncology, nutrition, and functional medicine, this first-of-its-kind volume provides clinicians with the tools needed to implement meaningful prehabilitation programs in practice. As breast cancer care becomes increasingly personalized, Breast Cancer Surgery Prehabilitation offers an essential framework for improving patient outcomes and enhancing the surgical journey for one of the world's largest and most motivated patient populations.
