Exercise to improve muscle after breast cancer treatment
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program (called EXERT-BCH) can help improve muscle mass in women who have finished breast cancer treatment. It involves group resistance training sessions and is designed to support recovery and strength.
