  1. All measurements are given in absolute values between baseline and prior to surgery, with the change in percentage from baseline in parenthesis
  2. AT anaerobic threshold, DAH-30 Days at Home within 30 days after surgery, Hb hemoglobin, LOS length of stay, STS sit to stand in 30 s, VO2 oxygen uptake
  3. aIndirect one-repetition maximum test calculated by Brzycki’s formula
  4. bHighest complication graded by the Clavien-Dindo classification. Data from patient 8 is not presented since postoperative testing was not conducted in this patient due to an abscess in the tumor needing hospitalization and percutaneous drainage
