Muscle health study for hospitalized cancer patients

This study looks at muscle health and aging in adults who had childhood cancer. Researchers want to see how muscle mass and strength change over time and what factors (like past treatments) might affect this.

This study uses imaging to look at how well the mitochondria (the tiny power plants inside your muscle cells) are working. It compares survivors of childhood leukemia who have low muscle mass to healthy volunteers, to understand muscle health and find ways to help.

This trial tests a special type of muscle training (called whole-body electromyostimulation) combined with nutritional therapy to help people recovering from gastrointestinal cancer surgery. It aims to improve strength, nutrition, and overall recovery.

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 study looks at a gentle exercise program for older adults with cancer who have recently been in the hospital and are feeling weak or frail. The goal is to see if adapted physical activity helps improve their recovery and overall well-being.

This study looks at how common muscle weakness (sarcopenia) and thinking or memory changes (often called “chemobrain”) are in people after cancer treatment. It may help teams understand what support could be most helpful after chemotherapy.
