Exercise after hospital: a new hope for frail seniors with cancer?
NCT ID NCT07617714
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 14-week personalized exercise program can improve mobility, strength, and quality of life in frail adults aged 65 and older with cancer who have recently been hospitalized. One hundred participants will either follow the adapted physical activity program or receive standard care. The goal is to see if structured exercise helps them recover function better than usual advice alone.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple, drug-free way to help older adults with cancer regain function and independence after a hospital stay.
