Exercise program for breast cancer survivors with muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help breast cancer survivors who have lost muscle strength and mass (sarcopenia) rebuild their muscle and improve their physical function. Participation involves supervised or guided exercises designed to be safe for your condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and completed your primary treatment (like surgery, chemo, or radiation) at least 3 months ago.
- You have been confirmed to have sarcopenia, meaning you have low muscle mass and low handgrip strength (a measure of strength in your hands).
- You are able to communicate and understand the study instructions.
- You are willing to be randomly assigned to either the exercise group or a control group.
