About
Brigitta Rasmussen Villumsen is a dedicated researcher in uro-oncological rehabilitation, with a primary focus on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients through prehabilitation. Her work centers on the critical preoperative period, where she investigates how structured exercise and lifestyle interventions can enhance patient resilience before major surgery. Villumsen’s most notable contribution is the TelePrehabTrial, a pioneering study examining the feasibility of a four-week home-based prehabilitation program for men undergoing nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This trial addresses a significant gap in cancer care by exploring whether remote, technology-supported interventions can improve physical readiness and reduce postoperative complications. By assessing recruitment rates, attrition, adherence, and adverse events, her research provides essential preliminary data for integrating prehabilitation into standard clinical pathways. While her work is still accumulating citations, its practical implications for patient-centered care and healthcare resource utilization are substantial. Villumsen’s research represents a vital step toward personalized, accessible pre-surgical support, potentially improving recovery trajectories and quality of life for thousands of men facing prostate cancer surgery.
