Exercise before prostate surgery for recovery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing a short exercise program before prostate removal surgery helps you recover better. You will join supervised training sessions for a few weeks before your operation, and your recovery will be tracked afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
