Exercise for muscle loss after breast or gynecological cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman 18 years or older with breast or gynecological cancer.
- You have been diagnosed with some level of muscle loss (sarcopenia).
- You finished your main cancer treatment (surgery, chemo, or radiation) between 2 weeks and 2 years ago.
- Your doctor has said it's safe for you to start exercising.

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 trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This study looks at how a supervised exercise program affects muscle-related substances (myokines) in women who have finished breast cancer treatment. It may help understand how exercise can support recovery.
This trial tests a multicomponent training program to improve muscle quality in women over 60. It aims to help maintain strength and function as you age.
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise and wellness program before surgery helps older adults with breast cancer recover better and stay stronger. You would work with a team to prepare your body for surgery over several weeks.
This trial compares two types of exercise programs for breast cancer survivors to see which one improves quality of life more. You will either attend supervised rehab sessions at a facility or follow a resistance exercise program at home.
