Multimodal prehabilitation significantly enhances outcomes for colorectal cancer patients undergoing surgery by lowering complications and improving recovery.

• Multimodal prehabilitation cut postoperative complications by 53% (odds ratio: 0.47).
• It also shortened hospital stays by an average of 1.17 days.

This integrated approach improves physical function, shown by a 27-meter increase in the 6-minute walk test pre-surgery, and reduces anxiety scores.

• Benefits last with a 19-meter improvement sustained 4 weeks post-surgery.
