Learning Objectives:

  1. Upon completion, participants will be able to discuss the risk of complication or death associated with major oncologic surgery.
  2. Upon completion, participants will be able to express a definition of frailty and discuss the impact of frailty on surgical outcomes.
  3. Upon completion, participants will be able to use one or more frailty assessment tools to objectively assess the severity of a patient's frailty.
  4. Upon completion, participants will be able to list essential components of multidisciplinary prehabilitation programs.
  5. Upon completion, participants will be able to discuss why Blood Flow Restriction Training could prove advantageous in prehabilitation efforts for frail patients.
