Strength training with hormone therapy for prostate cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether doing strength training during hormone therapy can help your immune system fight prostate cancer better. It involves supervised exercise sessions alongside your usual treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer that is still within the prostate area (not spread to distant organs).
- You are about to start, or have just started, hormone therapy for at least 3 months before your radiation treatment.
- You have a good level of daily function (able to do light activities, rating 0 or 1 on a performance scale).
- You are able to speak and understand English well enough to follow study instructions.
- You have not done regular strength training in the last 3 months, and you don't have major heart, autoimmune, or bone/joint problems that would make exercise unsafe.
