How body composition affects chemotherapy results in breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether body fat and muscle (body composition) change how well certain chemotherapy works after surgery for early breast cancer. You may be considered if you are planned to receive docetaxel as adjuvant (after-surgery) chemotherapy and have recent CT scan images.

This study measures body composition (muscle and fat distribution) in patients undergoing breast reconstruction after mastectomy to understand how these measurements relate to surgical outcomes and recovery. Understanding these connections may help doctors better predict and optimize results for future patients.
This study looks at how changing your diet during chemotherapy affects side effects and your body's energy use. It involves providing stool samples to study gut bacteria.
This study looks at how physical activity and body composition affect the side effects of paclitaxel, a chemotherapy drug, in women with stage II or III breast cancer. It aims to help doctors understand who might have more or fewer side effects during treatment.
This study looks at how breast cancer changes while you are receiving chemotherapy or targeted therapy before surgery. The goal is to better understand which treatments work best for different types of breast cancer.
This study tests whether supervised exercise during chemotherapy is safe and helpful for people with early-stage breast cancer. It may support physical function and well-being while you are receiving cancer treatment.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program during pre-surgery chemotherapy can be safely done and may help people feel and function better during treatment. You may join if you have invasive breast cancer and can commit to the exercise plan while on chemotherapy.
