NCT ID NCT07583719
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether moderate aerobic exercise, done during breast cancer radiotherapy, can reduce inflammation and improve physical fitness and quality of life. Forty women with early-stage breast cancer will either do supervised exercise sessions or receive usual care. Researchers will measure blood markers, body composition, strength, and how patients feel.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.

- moderate-intensity interval aerobic exercise
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a simple exercise program helps breast cancer patients feel better and have less inflammation during radiotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise may not provide clear benefits, and some patients might find it hard to keep up.
