Strength exercises for arm function after breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two strength exercise programs to see which better improves arm and shoulder function after breast cancer surgery. If you qualify, you'll be placed in one of the two exercise groups and help researchers learn how to best support recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have breast cancer.
- You have had breast cancer surgery (mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery).
- You may have had chemotherapy or radiation after surgery.
- You have not had any other cancer in the last 5 years.
- You are able to do physical exercise safely (no heart, brain, or mental health conditions that could interfere).
- You did not have shoulder problems before your surgery.

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 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 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 looks at whether starting arm and shoulder exercises soon after breast cancer surgery is safe and helpful. The goal is to help you recover movement and function more quickly 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.
