Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week program of Mediterranean diet counseling and strength training can improve physical fitness, body composition, and emotional well-being in women who have completed treatment for breast cancer. 120 survivors aged 30-65 will be randomly assigned to diet, exercise, both, or a control group. Researchers will measure changes in muscle mass, body fat, and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mediterranean Diet Counseling and Supervised Strength Training Program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that combining diet advice with exercise helps breast cancer survivors feel stronger, improve body composition, and boost quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (120 participants) with no blinding, so results may not apply to all survivors. The program is only 12 weeks, so long-term benefits are unknown.
