A single center, parallel arm randomized controlled trial of home-based prehabilitation vs. standard perioperative care in frail elderly patients undergoing elective surgery for intraabdominal cancer will be conducted. This will be a superiority trial to test the hypothesis that home-based prehabilitation will result in improved postoperative functional outcomes compared to standard care. This protocol is described in keeping with the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Intervention Trials (SPIRIT) guidelines).
