First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a tailored physical activity program can help lymphoma and breast cancer patients preserve their exercise ability, heart function, memory, and quality of life while undergoing cancer treatment. About 110 adults aged 18-85 with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma or stage I-III breast cancer will be randomly assigned to either an exercise program or educational workshops on nutrition, stress, and sleep. The goal is to see if staying active can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and other cancer therapies.
