NCT ID NCT06454864
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether following exercise and healthy eating guidelines can improve heart health and reduce metabolic problems in breast cancer survivors. Forty-five postmenopausal women who had breast cancer will be split into three groups: exercise only, exercise plus dietary counseling, or stretching. The goal is to see if these lifestyle changes lower insulin resistance and other heart disease risks.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that combining exercise with dietary counseling helps breast cancer survivors lower their risk of heart disease and diabetes.
