Exercise program for teens newly diagnosed with cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program is safe and helpful for teenagers who are newly diagnosed with cancer (outside the brain) and have not started treatment yet. It may help improve fitness and daily functioning while cancer care is getting underway.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
