This trial looks at muscle loss (called sarcopenia) in people with colon cancer to test an intervention that may help strength or recovery. If you’re age 70 or older and meet the cancer and health requirements, you may be able to take part.
This study tests whether a personalized cooking, nutrition, and physical activity program can help reduce muscle loss in people with advanced cancer who are receiving chemotherapy.
This trial studies whether doing a structured exercise program and receiving enteral (tube) nutrition after gastric cancer surgery can improve survival. It focuses on people with stage Ib to stage IIIc stomach cancer who have had standard surgery and have not had chemo or radiation before.
This study looks at whether doctors can spot “low muscle” (sarcopenia) in everyday clinic care for people with ovarian or endometrial cancer who are planning to start chemotherapy. It may help your care team identify muscle loss early and potentially support better treatment planning.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) might affect side effects from cancer treatments. If you are starting a new cancer treatment, a CT scan before treatment can help doctors predict your risk of side effects.
This study tests whether silkworm pupa tablets can help cancer patients regain muscle mass and improve nutrition. Participants will receive either the supplement or a placebo (inactive pill) and be monitored for changes in muscle strength and overall health.
