Exercise training to protect heart health during cancer chemotherapy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help protect your heart and improve your fitness while you're receiving chemotherapy for cancer. Chemotherapy drugs called anthracyclines can sometimes weaken the heart, and exercise may help prevent or reduce this side effect.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cancer and are currently receiving chemotherapy with anthracycline drugs
- You have not done regular exercise in the past 3 months
- You are between 18 and 59 years old
- Your cancer is in early or intermediate stages of treatment
- Your heart is stable enough for exercise (no severe heart failure or dangerous irregular heartbeats)
- You can commit to attending supervised exercise sessions during the study
