In a conversation with CancerNetwork®, Nathan Goodyear, MD, spoke about the role that exercise and lifestyle intervention can play in the treatment of patients with cancer. He described how prescribed exercise may serve as a biologically interventional therapy that can help prolong longevity, reduce the risk of recurrence; and supplement the efficacy of standard therapeutic approaches like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and surgery.Goodyear, an integrative medicine physician at the Williams Cancer Institute, pointed to literature indicating the potential benefits of structured exercise programs across different cancer populations. For example, data from the phase 3 CHALLENGE trial (NCT00819208) highlighted a lower risk of death and reduced recurrence following a 3-year structured program among patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer. Furthermore, the OPTIMUS trial (NCT02950324) demonstrated that a short-term exercise program that takes place before surgery or alongside chemotherapy can increase CD8-positive T-cell infiltration while decreasing immunosuppressive cells, effectively turning “cold” tumors “hot.”Additionally, Goodyear addressed some preconceptions surrounding the potential role of exercise in oncologic care, defending it as a prescribable therapy that necessitates a deliberate, properly applied approach to achieve success among patients. He discussed the importance of structuring individualized exercise-based regimens by considering performance status and other physical patient characteristics. He also noted how exercise intervention may mitigate immunosenescence and accelerated aging may be associated with one's disease and anti-cancer therapy. “Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation…have efficacy; there's no question about that. They also promote senescence and accelerated aging. What if we're able to bring in these therapies that can work to break those cycles, like exercise?” Goodyear stated. “If it improves the outcome, helps the patient heal better, empowers their immune system in intended [and] direct ways that are reproducible in the research, and if it helps to block that accelerated aging, we reengage the immune system, countering the immunosenescence that is accelerating that process called inflammation.”References Courneya KS, Vardy JL, O'Callaghan CJ, et al.

Can preparing the body before cancer treatment improve recovery, reduce complications, and even protect brain function?In this episode, Sahir sits down with Dr. Christopher Gaffney, Senior Lecturer in Integrative Physiology at Lancaster University, to explore the growing science of prehabilitation. Prehabilitation uses exercise, nutrition, and psychological support to help cancer patients better tolerate surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.They discuss how a patient's baseline fitness can influence treatment outcomes, why exercise is increasingly being viewed as medicine, the emerging evidence around “chemo brain,” and why healthcare may need to shift from reactive treatment to proactive preparation.A fascinating conversation at the intersection of cancer research, physiology, and preventative medicine.Topics Covered What prehabilitation is and why it matters  Exercise as medicine in cancer care  How fitness affects surgery and chemotherapy outcomes  The science behind chemo brain and fatigue  Why medicine needs to think earlier, not laterSupport the showSupport us and reach out!https://smoothbrainsociety.comhttps://www.patreon.com/SmoothBrainSocietyInstagram: @thesmoothbrainsocietyTikTok: @thesmoothbrainsocietyTwitter/X:  @SmoothBrainSocFacebook: @thesmoothbrainsocietyMerch and all other links: Linktreeemail: thesmoothbrainsociety@gmail.com

For patient referrals: Call 602-521-5969 or 602-839-4242What if restoring a patient's core function required more than just closing a defect? In this episode of Beyond the Rounds, we explore complex abdominal wall reconstruction—one of the most technically demanding areas in surgery—and why a multidisciplinary approach is essential for achieving optimal outcomes. Dr. Nolan Fisher sits down with plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Jimmy Chim and general surgeon Dr. Priya Rajdev to discuss how collaboration, surgical innovation and thoughtful pre-operative planning are redefining what's possible for patients with complex hernias and abdominal wall defects.Far beyond a “simple hernia repair,” these cases often involve loss of domain, prior surgical complications or missing abdominal wall components that significantly impact a patient's function and quality of life. From minimally invasive techniques to advanced reconstructive procedures, today's surgical approaches are focused not just on repair, but on restoring strength, stability and independence.This episode explores how these procedures work, which patients may benefit and why optimizing health before surgery is often just as important as the operation itself.This episode is designed for physicians, advanced practice providers and clinicians seeking a practical understanding of complex hernia repair, abdominal wall reconstruction and multidisciplinary surgical care.What We Cover-Why not all hernia repairs are the same—and when cases become “complex”-The concept of loss of domain and its impact on surgical planning-Differences between minimally invasive and open reconstruction techniques-How component separation restores abdominal wall function-The role of mesh—synthetic, biologic and bio-resorbable options-When and why plastic surgery and general surgery collaborate-Prehabilitation: weight loss, diabetes control and smoking cessation-Managing recurrence and why the first repair matters most-Surgical staging vs. single-stage reconstruction-Real-world cases highlighting decision-making and techniqueKey Topics for Clinicians-Complex abdominal wall reconstruction-Ventral and incisional hernias-Loss of domain-Component separation techniques-Minimally invasive hernia repair-Surgical mesh selection-Preoperative optimization (prehab)-Multidisciplinary surgical care-Plastic and reconstructive surgery collaboration-Hernia recurrence preventionAbout Our Guests-Dr. Jimmy Chim is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in complex abdominal wall reconstruction and advanced soft tissue reconstruction. His work focuses on restoring both form and function for patients with significant surgical defects, trauma or prior complications.-Dr. Priya Rajdev is a general surgeon specializing in minimally invasive foregut and complex abdominal wall surgery. She brings expertise in laparoscopic and robotic techniques to treat hernias and abdominal wall defects through smaller incisions while maintaining strong clinical outcomes.How to Refer a PatientBanner Health providers: Use Cerner's Ambulatory Referral Management (ARM) tool.Community providers: Call 602-521-5969 or 602-839-4242 to schedule a patient for evaluation.DisclaimerThis podcast is intended for educational purposes only and is designed for a clinical audience.

What if the way you recover from breast cancer surgery actually starts before you ever enter the operating room? In this powerful and practical episode, Jen Delvaux sits down with Dr. Rebecca Knackstedt, MD, PhD—reconstructive surgeon, functional medicine expert, and founder of Clara Recovery—to talk about something every woman facing surgery needs to know about: prehabilitation. Dr. Knackstedt explains how preparing your body ahead of surgery through proper nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and sleep can dramatically improve healing, reduce complications, and speed up recovery. They dive into why so many women feel underprepared going into surgery, the gaps in traditional medical education around nutrition, and how simple, proactive steps can make a huge difference in outcomes. This conversation is empowering, practical, and filled with actionable advice for anyone navigating breast cancer or any major surgery. In This Episode We Cover: What prehabilitation is and why it's crucial for surgical recovery How nutrition directly impacts healing after surgery Why many doctors receive very little nutrition education The powerful role of protein, fiber, and whole foods in recovery How exercise before surgery improves strength and healing speed The connection between stress management and surgical outcomes Simple tools to calm the nervous system before and after surgery Why sleep hygiene is a foundational part of healing How patients can better advocate for themselves in medical settings The mission behind Clara Recovery and tailored surgical supplements Practical steps every woman can take to feel more prepared and empowered ___________________________________________________________________________

Send us a textKann eine personalisierte Prähabilitation vor großen chirurgischen Eingriffen nicht nur die körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit, sondern auch das Immunsystem gezielt modulieren? In dieser Episode diskutieren wir eine randomisierte klinische Studie aus JAMA Surgery, die standardisierte mit personalisierten Prähabilitationsprogrammen vergleicht und zeigt, wie individualisierte, multimodale Interventionen präoperative Immunprofile, kognitive und physische Funktionen sowie postoperative Komplikationen beeinflussen.Cambriel A, Tsai A, Choisy B, et al. Immune Modulation by Personalized vs Standard Prehabilitation Before Major Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Surgery. Published online November 12, 2025.DOI: 10.1001/jamasurg.2025.4917Prähabilitation wird zunehmend als Strategie zur Verbesserung chirurgischer Outcomes diskutiert, ihre Wirksamkeit bleibt jedoch heterogen. In einer prospektiven, randomisierten, einfach verblindeten klinischen Studie untersuchten Cambriel et al. den Effekt einer personalisierten im Vergleich zu einer standardisierten Prähabilitation bei Patient:innen vor größeren elektiven Operationen.58 Patient:innen wurden 2–6 Wochen vor der Operation entweder einer papierbasierten Standard-Prähabilitation oder einer personalisierten, multimodalen Prähabilitation mit zweimal wöchentlichen individuellen Remote-Coachings (Bewegung, Ernährung, kognitives Training und Achtsamkeit) zugeteilt. Neben funktionellen und kognitiven Endpunkten wurde eine Immunphänotypisierung mittels 47-Parameter-Massenzytometrie durchgeführt.Die personalisierte Prähabilitation führte zu signifikanten Verbesserungen der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit (u. a. 6-Minuten-Gehtest, Timed-up-and-go-Test, Wandsitztest) sowie der kognitiven Funktion. Gleichzeitig traten signifikant weniger moderate bis schwere postoperative Komplikationen auf. Auf immunologischer Ebene zeigte sich eine ausgeprägte, zelltypspezifische Modulation des peripheren Immunsystems mit einer Dämpfung proinflammatorischer Signalwege (u. a. JAK/STAT- und MyD88-assoziierte Signale), die in früheren Studien mit postoperativen Komplikationen und neurokognitivem Abbau assoziiert waren.Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass personalisierte Prähabilitation nicht nur funktionelle Reserven stärkt, sondern auch biologische Mechanismen der chirurgischen Stressantwort gezielt beeinflusst und damit einen Ansatz für biologisch gesteuerte Risikostratifizierung und individualisierte präoperative Vorbereitung bietet.

In this episode, I sit down with Erin Sullivan Wagner for a raw and powerful conversation about something that's too often ignored—sexual health in the context of cancer. Erin shares her personal experience with anal cancer, and what it was like to navigate the trauma of diagnosis and treatment while also feeling abandoned when it came to intimacy and her sexual well-being. We talk about the gaps in cancer care, especially when it comes to women. Why is it that sexual health is often dismissed or completely left out of the conversation? Erin and I unpack how deeply cultural biases and medical liability fears impact the way sexual health is (or isn't) addressed—especially for women. We also dive into the concept of prehabilitation—starting sexual health conversations before treatment begins—and why it's critical that providers get educated and empowered to offer resources, referrals, and support for their patients. Because survivorship isn't just about staying alive—it's about staying connected to your body, your relationships, and your pleasure. This is the conversation I wish every oncology team would hear. Cancer profoundly affects sexual health, yet it's often ignored. Erin's story is a powerful reminder of the trauma that comes with being left in the dark. There's a huge disconnect in how cancer care approaches female sexuality. Male sexual health gets prioritized—female sexual health, not so much. So many patients feel invisible when it comes to intimacy concerns. These conversations need to happen early, not after damage has been done. Cultural discomfort and medical fear of liability keep people from addressing sex. Women are rarely told what to expect sexually after cancer treatment. Quality of life includes sex, pleasure, and connection. We have to normalize sexual health in survivorship care. When we ignore it, the damage can be long-lasting and irreversible. Emotional intimacy matters as much as physical recovery. Prehabilitation should be standard practice. Providers need training—patients need validation and direction. Advocacy matters. This change starts with conversations like this.
