Data are mean ± SD. 6MWT—6-min walk test; EWB—emotional well-being; FACIT-F—functional assessment of chronic illness therapy-fatigue; FACT-G—functional assessment of cancer therapy-general; FWB—functional well-being; HADS-A—hospital anxiety and depression scale-anxiety; HADS-D—hospital anxiety and depression scale-depression; PWB—physical well-being; SWB—social well-being; T0—at the beginning of the prehabilitation program; T1—at the end of prehabilitation; T2—4 weeks postsurgery; T3—12 weeks postsurgery. ¥—Repeated-measures analysis of variance. # The repeated-measures analysis of variance showed a significant difference in HADS-D changes over the four time points but no significant differences were observed after Holm–Sidak post hoc corrections. (T0), (T1), (T2), (T3): Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between time points from Holm–Sidak post hoc corrections are indicated by the respective abbreviations of the different time point in individual columns.
