Exercise during breast cancer radiation therapy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether moderate-intensity interval aerobic exercise (a type of cardio workout with varied intensity) during radiation therapy can help breast cancer patients by reducing inflammation, boosting immune function, improving fitness, and enhancing quality of life.

This study tests whether a supervised physical activity program can help breast cancer patients reduce inflammation and improve health during neoadjuvant treatment (chemotherapy or immunotherapy given before surgery). The goal is to see if exercise can improve treatment outcomes and overall well-being.
This study tests whether supervised exercise during chemotherapy is safe and helpful for people with early-stage breast cancer. It may support physical function and well-being while you are receiving cancer treatment.
This trial tests whether aerobic exercise can help your immune system fight cancer better during chemotherapy or immunotherapy. It is for people with breast or colon cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
This trial tests an exercise-based rehabilitation program for people who have had early-stage breast cancer and are finishing or currently getting standard treatments like chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, or targeted drugs. It may help improve heart and breathing fitness during recovery.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a supervised aerobic (cardio) training program can improve health and exercise capacity for people receiving treatment for primary breast cancer. You may join if you currently do very little moderate-to-vigorous exercise and can safely complete a special treadmill test that measures breathing and heart response.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program during pre-surgery chemotherapy can be safely done and may help people feel and function better during treatment. You may join if you have invasive breast cancer and can commit to the exercise plan while on chemotherapy.
