Prehabilitation is completed in the time between cancer diagnosis and treatment and provides an opportunity to best prepare patients for their treatment physically, mentally, and emotionally. At PACES, we are interested in identifying the optimal modes of prehabilitation, so that patients may best respond to their treatments. We also work to determine the rehabilitation required for those affected by cancer as a result of their treatments.

Research has demonstrated that the participation of exercise for patients with cancer results in multiple benefits, such as improved physical function, quality of life, and psychological wellbeing. PACES strives to complete further research into the benefits of exercise for multiple populations living with cancer, including the optimal type of interventions for each population.

At PACES, we aim to provide research that will assist in the health and wellbeing of people with cancer from the time of their diagnosis until the end of their life. This includes multiple aspects, such as physical, mental, and emotional.
