Abstract

The concept of prehabilitation emerged in the United States in the 1940s to maintain the performance of American soldiers notably through good nutrition and sport. It was then a question of optimising the patient's health status in a pre-treatment situation and reducing surgical stress. The specific collaborative programme Proadapt, comprising multiprofessional expertise, was put in place for elderly patients in 2016.

Keywords: care; elderly person; geriatric oncology; multidisciplinarity; oncogériatrie; personne âgée; pluridisciplinarité; prehabilitation; prise en charge; préhabilitation.
