The aim of study is to analyse the feasibility of the use of nutritionnal complements after exercices before surgery for cancer. Body composition, muscle function and muscle mass will be analyse too.
A prospective study will be carried out including adult patients with neoplasia who should benefit in their therapeutic strategy from oncological surgery. About fifty patients will be recruited in the oncology / surgery department at the Saint-Luc University Clinics in Brussels. Patients will be assessed at the initial consultation and after the pre-habilitation period, ie the day before the operation. Dietary monitoring will be carried out in parallel with a physical and respiratory preparation program (prehabilitation) and the intake of protein nutritional supplements in the form of powder to be diluted will be carried out after each exercise session.

Adhesion rate of the use of nutritionnel complements after exercices before surgery for cancer
The feasibility of this outcome will be assess by the adhesion rate : (number of protein shots taken) / (number of protein shots prescribed). The adhesion will be validated if\> 75% of the holds are respected.
