Exercise during chemo to prevent weakness from low movement
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program during chemotherapy can help prevent physical decline (“immobility,” like getting weaker or moving less) in people with certain ovarian or endometrial cancers. If you’re eligible, you may be guided to exercise while receiving standard chemo, and you’ll have blood tests to track changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
