Summary
This pilot study tests whether a 36-session targeted exercise program can help frail pancreatic cancer patients stay stronger and complete their chemotherapy with fewer problems. Researchers will enroll 25 patients who are frail or pre-frail and receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and safe, with early signs of whether it improves strength and daily function.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that regular exercise helps frail pancreatic cancer patients maintain strength and complete chemotherapy with fewer interruptions.
