Exercise program for people getting treatment for head and neck cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a preventive, structured physical activity program can help people during and around curative treatment for head and neck cancers. It aims to see if exercise is safe and beneficial for strength, function, and well-being during radio(±chemo) therapy.
