This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help breast cancer survivors who have lost muscle strength and mass (sarcopenia) rebuild their muscle and improve their physical function. Participation involves supervised or guided exercises designed to be safe for your condition.
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 tests whether a supervised exercise program can help women who have finished cancer treatment improve muscle strength and function. It may be a good option if you feel weak or have lost muscle.
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.
This study tests whether personalized cooking and nutrition guidance plus a physical activity program can help reduce muscle loss in people with advanced cancer. It aims to improve strength and quality of life during chemotherapy.
