Background: Multimodal prehabilitation in oncogynecology is based on close collaboration between oncologists, oncogynecologists and the prehabilitation team. The team includes rehabilitation physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, a nutritional therapist and a clinical psychologist. The aim is to achieve the maximum possible psychosensomotor potential before the planned radical surgery. Case: A 66-year-old female patient diagnosed with high-grade serous ovarial carcinoma, stage IIIC according to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification, after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, was indicated for 21 days of inpatient prehabilitation in a 4/7 regimen. Prehabilitation was dominated by individual physiotherapy and occupational therapy with a frequency of twice a day for 20–30 minutes. Therapeutic programs containing elements of cardiorespiratory training, relaxation methods, muscular and cognitive training were applied. The therapy was supplemented with elements of telerehabilitation in the home environment. Conclusion: The evaluation of the applied functional tests demonstrates a significant improvement in the overall physical condition, respiratory parameters and quality of life of the patient described.
