Physical activity for weight loss in cancer patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how physical activity can help improve energy balance in people with cancer who are losing weight (a condition called cachexia). Participants will do adapted exercise and researchers will measure energy use to see if it helps.

This study tests whether a wearable-device-supported exercise program can help teenagers with cancer feel less tired and improve their quality of life during treatment. Participants will follow a low-to-moderate intensity exercise plan at home.
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
This trial studies whether a structured physical activity program can reduce ongoing (long-term) fatigue in men with metastatic testicular cancer. It likely helps by improving fitness and energy during and after first-line chemotherapy.
This trial tests whether a structured physical therapy program can help prevent or reduce muscle and bone loss caused by cancer and its treatment. It focuses on people with non-metastatic cancer who are receiving chemotherapy and have experienced cancer-related weight loss.
This study looks at whether a structured exercise program can help people during their cancer care. It aims to see if regular physical activity improves well-being and outcomes for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
This study tests whether a 6-month program combining weekly supervised exercise and dietary advice can improve health in breast cancer survivors who have completed initial treatments. It aims to help with weight, heart health, and overall well-being.
