Abstract
To begin with, to date, there is no study on the rehabilitation effect of the gynecologic cancer perioperative period. Therefore, our study aimed to treat perioperative gynecologic cancer patients in groups with and without rehabilitation until the surgical retreatment. Muscle strength, exercise tolerance, anxiety, and health-related quality of life （HRQOL） were studied. A total of 44 patients with gynecologic cancer were operated in a hospital from April 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019. We compared the group with 22 subjects who did not undergo rehabilitation until they were discharged from the surgery department and the group with 22 subjects in the intervention group who underwent rehabilitation. The result shows muscular strength （knee extension muscle strength）, exercise tolerance （6-minute walk）, anxiety （STAI）, and HRQOL （EORTC QLQ-C30）. We evaluated the intervention group, a target group at the time of in front of operation and a discharge together and weighed these items. Muscular strength, exercise tolerance, and many items of HRQOL of both the control and intervention groups displayed a significant decrease compared with that of the preoperation. Under the influence of operation and hospitalization, it was suggested that performing rehabilitation minimizes the decline. There are several studies on postoperative rehabilitation of gastrointestinal cancer. For a gynecologic cancer patient, muscle strength, exercise tolerance, pain, and weakness may be significantly improved by performing rehabilitation.
