Oesophageal Cancer Gastric Cancer Liver Cancer Pancreatic Cancer | Other: RESTORE II Program | Not Applicable |
Curative treatment for upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancers is associated with numerous side-effects including sarcopenia and nutritional compromise, increasing morbidity, compromising functional capacity and decreasing health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) in survivorship. As survival improves in UGI cancer, there is increasing focus on optimizing survivorship, however research examining rehabilitation programs in this newly-emergent complex clinical cohort is lacking.
The investigators recently designed, implemented, and evaluated the Rehabilitation Strategies following Oesophagogastric Cancer (RESTORE) program, a novel multidisciplinary rehabilitation program tailored for oesophagogastric cancer survivorship. The feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the RESTORE program was established and there is now recognized need to further examine program efficacy in a definitive trial.
Using a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, RESTORE II, implemented as a 2-armed randomized controlled trial, will examine if multidisciplinary rehabilitation can improve functional capacity and HRQOL in UGI cancer survivors. RESTORE II will prescribe a 12-week program of supervised aerobic and resistance training, self-directed unsupervised exercise, individualized dietetic counselling and multidisciplinary education for patients who are >3 months following oesophagectomy, gastrectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, or major liver resection. A sample of 60 participants per arm will be recruited to establish a mean increase in functional capacity (cardio-respiratory fitness) of 3.5 ml/kg/min with 90% power, 5% significance and 20% drop-out.
Quantitative assessments including cardiopulmonary fitness and functional exercise capacity will be completed at baseline, post-intervention and 3-months post-intervention (Objective 1). HR-QOL will be quantitatively assessed pre and post-intervention, at 3-months post-intervention and 1 year post-enrollment (Objective 2). Impact on physical, mental and social well-being will be qualitatively examined during focus groups immediately post-intervention and 3-months post-intervention (Objective 3). The implementation costs of RESTORE II will be analysed in consideration of clinician salaries, overheads and equipment costs (Objective 4). Bio-samples will be collected pre and post-intervention and 3-months post-intervention, establishing the first National UGI Cancer Survivorship Biobank (Objective 5). A patient centered approach to enhancing trial recruitment in this complex cohort will also be evaluated (Objective 6).
Following this evaluation, the RESTORE II program will provide a unique model of multidisciplinary rehabilitation in nutritionally complex UGI cancer survivors.

Quality of Life will be determined by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30).
Scores are reported on a linear scale from 0-100. A high score in a functional scale indicates greater function. A high score in a symptom scale indicates greater symptom burden.
For Oesophago-gastric Cancer Patients Quality of Life will be further assessed with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Oesophago-gastric Cancer Subscale the QLQ-OG25.
Scores are reported on a linear scale from 0-100. A high score in a functional scale indicates greater function. A high score in a symptom scale indicates greater symptom burden.
For Pancreatic Cancer Patients Quality of Life will be further assessed with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Pancreatic cancer Subscale (QLQ-PAN26).
Scores are reported on a linear scale from 0-100. A high score on a functional scale indicates greater function. A high score on a symptom scale indicates greater symptom burden.
