Summary

This study looks at whether a one-year, home-based exercise program can help older adults (60+) who are undergoing cancer treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or usual care. Researchers will measure walking speed, balance, muscle strength, and quality of life to see if exercise helps them stay independent and feel better during treatment.
