Physical Function During Cancer Treatment for Stomach/Esophagus Cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tracks how physical abilities (like strength, walking, and daily activities) change in adults receiving chemotherapy or other drug treatments for early-stage stomach or esophageal cancer. Understanding these changes may help doctors better support patients during treatment.
