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 trial uses a painless machine to measure your body composition (mainly fluid and muscle) using bioelectrical impedance. It’s looking at people with stage II–III stomach cancer who are receiving standard “multi-treatment” care, to see whether these measurements are useful during treatment.
This study tests whether an exercise and nutrition program can improve quality of life for people with incurable esophageal or stomach cancer. It is designed to help you feel better and stay active during treatment.
This trial compares two types of exercise—flexible resistance band training versus a type of muscle stimulation—to see which is safe and helpful during cancer treatment. It may help improve physical function while you’re receiving anti-cancer care.
This study tests a personalized, supervised exercise program that you can do from home. It aims to help improve your physical function after finishing treatment for early-stage gastroesophageal cancer.
