Abstract
Background: to summarize current data from the world literature on the role of prehabilitation in the complex treatment of breast cancer.

Material and methods: the analysis of data from domestic and foreign literature on the role of prehabilitation in the complex treatment of breast cancer has been performed. The search was conducted using the electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, eLibrary, PubMed and Google Academy for the period from 2010 to 2024.

Results: breast cancer is a disease affecting women over the age of 35, accounting for 25 % of all new cancer cases worldwide. Breast cancer treatment includes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, and often hormone therapy. Pre-rehabilitation emerged as a proactive approach to preparing patients for surgery and improving recovery outcomes. It affects the period between diagnosis and the start of treatment, including physical and psychological assessments to establish a basic functional level, identify disorders and provide targeted interventions aimed at improving health and reducing future complications, and is an important component in the treatment of breast cancer patients. Research shows that targeted exercise programs can positively affect the physical function and well-being of this group of patients. However, the available evidence on the effectiveness of pre-rehabilitation programs remains inconclusive, and further research is needed to better understand their impact on cancer treatment and recovery outcomes. At the moment, further research is needed to explore the role of prehabilitation to improve intervention strategies and confirm the effectiveness of prehabilitation in improving treatment outcomes for breast cancer patients.

Conclusion: therefore, current research is crucial to improve intervention strategies, increase patient engagement, and ultimately confirm the effectiveness of prehabilitation in improving treatment outcomes for breast cancer patients. In the future, pre-rehabilitation is likely to become the standard of treatment in oncology. The development of technologies such as telemedicine will expand access to pre-rehabilitation programs for patients in remote regions. Further research will help optimize training programs, making them more effective and accessible.
