Journal Article
Murdoch, J., Varley, A., McCulloch, J., Jones, M., Thomas, L. B., Clark, A., …Hernon, J. (2021). Implementing supportive exercise interventions in the colorectal cancer care pathway: a process evaluation of the PREPARE-ABC randomised controlled trial. BMC Cancer, 21(1), Article 1137. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-021-08880-8

Background: A colorectal resection is standard treatment for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the procedure results in significant post-operative mortality and reduced quality of life. Maximising pre-operative cardiopulmonary fitness c...
