    Abstract

    Multimodal prehabilitation seems to be the new kid on the block in perioperative optimalisation. This thesis aims to study the hypothesis that multimodal prehabilitation results in an enhanced and faster recovery after colorectal cancer surgery. Amongst other studies, the results of a systematic review about the colorectal cancer treatment interval, a Cochrane review comparing multimodal prehabilitation before colorectal cancer surgery with a control group and a randomised clinical trial studying a 4-week multimodal prehabilitation in patients undergoing surgery for nonmetastasised colorectal cancer are described and discussed in this thesis.
