Prehabilitation is increasingly recognised as a therapeutic option to reduce postoperative complications. Investigating the beneficial effects of exercise on cellular mechanisms, we have previously shown that a single episode of exhaustive exercise effectively stimulates endothelial progenitor cells (a cell population associated with vascular maintenance, repair, angiogenesis, and neovascularization) in correlation with fewer postoperative complications, despite the ongoing debate about the appropriate cell surface marker profiles of these cells (common phenotypical definitions include CD45dim, CD133+, CD34+ and/or CD31+). In order to translate these findings into clinical application, a feasible prehabilitation programme achieving both functional and cellular benefits in a suitable timeframe to expedite surgery is necessary.

Optimising Patient Outcomes in Tongue Cancer: A Multidisciplinary Approach
The initiative outlined in this paper emphasises the importance of a collaborative strategy in managing tongue cancer, involving a broad spectrum of healthcare professionals. This multidisciplinary method integrates the expertise of nurses, allied health workers, and various medical specialists to enhance diagnosis, treatment, and recovery processes for patients. By developing and examining a series of online lectures, this study highlights the critical roles played by each discipline in the comprehensive care pathway, from prevention and early detection to the management of advanced stages of the disease. This approach aims not only to address the clinical aspects of tongue cancer but also to support the overall well-being of patients, showcasing the benefits of teamwork in healthcare settings for improving patient outcomes.
