Exercise to improve heart and brain health after breast cancer treatment
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help repair blood vessel and nerve damage caused by past chemotherapy for breast cancer. It may help women who were treated 5-10 years ago and now have risk factors for heart disease.

This trial tests a self-management program to reduce heart disease risks in women who have had breast cancer. It might help you if you have a heart condition and have finished active cancer treatment.
This trial tests if starting a supervised aerobic exercise program soon after chemotherapy can help improve blood vessel health in women with early-stage breast cancer. It's designed for women who are generally inactive and ready to begin exercising.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health in post-menopausal women after early-stage breast cancer treatment. It specifically targets women who have trouble with exercise and have completed cancer treatment within the last 1 to 5 years.
This study tests if a 12-week exercise program improves heart health in women over 60 who have finished treatment for early-stage breast cancer. You will be placed in either an aerobic exercise group or a stretching group to see which helps your heart more.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for women who have completed breast cancer treatment. It aims to see which type of training helps improve heart health and fitness.
This study tests whether a structured exercise and heart-health rehabilitation program can improve heart function and reduce heart problems in people who have finished cancer treatment or are on stable cancer therapy. If you've had cancer treatment that might affect your heart, this program could help you recover better and live healthier.
