Prehab program for gynecologic cancer before treatment
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured “prehab” program (before major cancer treatment) can improve how well people tolerate therapy and recover. It focuses on people with certain ovarian or early endometrial cancers who need additional treatment planning, including timing of surgery or chemotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epithelial ovarian cancer in stage III or IV and are starting treatment that may include chemotherapy first (NACT)
- You cannot have the first (primary) surgery that removes as much tumor as possible, but you may be able to have later (interval) debulking surgery
- Or you have stage I or II endometrial cancer and have been found to be “frail” on a specific frailty checklist
- You must be a good candidate for standard hormonal therapy (for the endometrial group) or standard chemotherapy plan (for the ovarian group)
- You cannot have an actively treated second cancer (other than the main one)
- You must be physically able to follow the prehab plan and be able to walk
