Summary
This trial tests a 12-week program called EmpowerHer that combines home-based exercise via a mobile app with weekly in-person group sessions. It aims to improve health-related quality of life, reduce fatigue, anxiety, and depression, and increase physical fitness in breast cancer survivors aged 35 to 65. Researchers compare the program to usual medical care across five European countries.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical, scalable way to improve quality of life, reduce fatigue, and boost fitness for breast cancer survivors.
- What could go wrong
