Strength training for muscle mass in pancreatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a strength-training exercise program (focusing on muscle building) can help increase muscle mass and improve quality of life for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that cannot be surgically removed. Participants will follow a guided resistance training program while undergoing chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
