Exercise for heart health after breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for women who have completed breast cancer treatment. It aims to see which type of training helps improve heart health and fitness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 20 to 89
- You have been diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive breast cancer (confirmed by biopsy)
- You have finished active breast cancer treatment (surgery, radiation, chemo, immunotherapy, or hormonal therapy) – you cannot be on chemotherapy now
- You have at least 3 months of supervised resistance training (weight lifting) experience under a certified strength coach
- You are not taking beta blockers or GLP-1 inhibitor medications, and have no severe joint, heart, or muscle problems that would make weight lifting unsafe
