Strength exercises for better arm use after breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two different strength exercise programs to see which one helps breast cancer survivors improve arm and hand function after surgery and treatments like chemo or radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

- You received chemotherapy or radiation therapy after surgery if needed.
- You have not had any other type of cancer in the last 5 years.
- You do not have any heart, blood vessel, or mental health problems that would keep you from exercising safely.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a combination of arm-strengthening and aerobic exercises helps breast cancer patients who are at least 15 months past surgery and not very active. The goal is to see if this home-based program improves arm function and overall fitness.
This study tests a strength training program for women who have finished primary treatment for early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to see if it helps improve muscle strength and overall recovery.
This study tests whether starting specific physical therapy exercises early or later after breast cancer surgery is better for recovery. It may help women who are at risk for arm and shoulder problems after surgery.
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.
This study is for breast cancer survivors who have completed treatment and want to join a supervised weight-lifting program. It looks at how different exercise routines help build muscle and improve fitness.
This study tests whether doing resistance exercises (like light lifting) can help prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) after breast cancer surgery. If you had lymph nodes removed, you may benefit from learning safe ways to move and strengthen your arm.
