Impact of Preoperative Chemotherapy on Physical Function in Patients With Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: A Retrospective Study by Ken Kouda MD, PhD, Makoto Asaeda PT, PhD, Yuki Nakashima PT, PhD, Takeya Araki MD, Shinji Kawasaki PT, Ayano Ishida PT, MS, Takumi Nagao PT, MS, Noriaki Maeda PT, PhD, Yukio Urabe PT, PhD, Yukio Mikami MD, PhD

“…Results: Grip strength (24.7 ± 6.8 vs 25.1 ± 6.8 kg, P = .462) and 6MWT (451.8 ± 95.7 vs 470.0 ± 82.5 m, P = .119) showed no significant decline after chemotherapy. On subgroup analysis, the reduced physical function group (6 patients) had significantly more chemotherapy sessions than the maintained group (5.0 ± 2.0 vs 2.0 ± 0.6, P = .042), suggesting that prolonged chemotherapy regimens may increase physical function decline risk due to cumulative toxicity. …”
