This trial tests a “multimodal” program meant to help people with cancer avoid developing cachexia, a condition that causes unwanted weight and muscle loss. It may help you stay stronger and maintain weight if you are not yet in advanced or rapidly worsening stages.
This study tests whether a personalized plan for food (nutrition) and safe, adapted exercise can improve care in frail people with advanced digestive cancers. You may be more likely to feel stronger and better supported during first-line cancer treatment.
This study tests whether personalized nutrition advice can help people with cancer feel better and have a better quality of life. You would work with a nutrition expert to get a plan tailored to your needs.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help breast cancer survivors who have low muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia). If you've finished your main treatments and are now in recovery, this study may help improve your muscle health.
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 tests whether an “optimizing nutrition” plan before and after cancer surgery can help older adults maintain physical strength and daily functioning. You may be randomly assigned to the nutrition program or another study group, and you’ll be asked about diet and physical function.
