Exercise to boost immunity in advanced cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a structured exercise program can help boost your immune system while you receive standard treatment for advanced mesothelioma or pancreatic cancer. It's designed for people who are starting treatment for the first time.
