About
Favil Singh’s research sits at the vital intersection of exercise oncology and surgical recovery, with a focused mission to improve outcomes for men with prostate cancer. Her major contribution is pioneering the concept of “prehabilitation”—introducing structured, supervised exercise *before* surgery, rather than only after. Through a landmark randomized trial (2023), she demonstrated that a six-week pre-surgical exercise program significantly improves objective physical function and patient-reported outcomes compared to standard post-operative rehabilitation. This work, which has garnered over 19 citations to date, challenges the traditional rehabilitative paradigm and offers a practical, non-pharmacological intervention to reduce hospital length of stay and mitigate post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence. By shifting the clinical focus from recovery to preparation, Singh’s research empowers patients to enter surgery with greater physiological reserve, potentially transforming perioperative care pathways. Her findings provide compelling evidence for integrating exercise into standard pre-surgical counseling, making her a leading voice in the growing field of prehabilitative oncology.
