This study aims to evaluate the clinical applicability of a peri-habilitation program in patients with gastric cancer by applying nutritional intervention for approximately two weeks before surgery and a combined exercise and nutrition intervention for about three weeks after hospital discharge, and by analyzing its effects on the prevention of postoperative complications and recovery.
Patients aged 65 years or older who have been diagnosed with gastric cancer and are scheduled to undergo surgical treatment or chemotherapy.
Patients with severe conditions who are unable to undergo the intervention prior to surgical treatment or chemotherapy.
Patients with physical (e.g., musculoskeletal) or mental disorders that make participation in or continuation of the program impossible.
Patients judged to be at risk of additional physical burden from the intervention.
