Exercise to slow prostate cancer in men on active surveillance
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether moderate exercise can help keep low-risk prostate cancer from growing in men who are monitoring their cancer instead of treating it right away. It may be especially helpful for men with certain risk factors like obesity or being Black or African American.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether an exercise program can help men with early-stage prostate cancer who are being monitored instead of treated. If you are not very active now, you may be able to join a structured exercise plan to see if it improves your health and cancer signs.
This study explores whether regular exercise can affect hormone levels in men with early prostate cancer who are being closely monitored without immediate treatment. Researchers want to understand if staying physically active might help manage the condition.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help reduce heart disease risk in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. Participants will exercise at home or in a group and be monitored for heart health changes.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help men with prostate cancer stay stronger and feel better during combined radiation and hormone therapy. You may be able to join if you are about to start these treatments and are otherwise healthy enough to exercise.
