Exercise for frailty and muscle loss in men with prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program to see if it can reduce frailty and muscle loss in men with metastatic prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. It may help you become stronger and feel better during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
