Body composition study in early breast cancer patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how body composition (muscle and fat) changes over time in people with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to better understand the effects of cancer treatment on the body.

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 how muscle loss (sarcopenia) might affect side effects from cancer treatments. If you are starting a new cancer treatment, a CT scan before treatment can help doctors predict your risk of side effects.
This study looks at whether doctors can spot “low muscle” (sarcopenia) in everyday clinic care for people with ovarian or endometrial cancer who are planning to start chemotherapy. It may help your care team identify muscle loss early and potentially support better treatment planning.
This study tests whether a special exercise program can help women with breast or gynecological cancer who have lost muscle strength or mass (sarcopenia). It aims to improve your muscle health after finishing your main cancer treatments.
This trial looks at muscle loss (called sarcopenia) in people with colon cancer to test an intervention that may help strength or recovery. If you’re age 70 or older and meet the cancer and health requirements, you may be able to take part.
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.
