Summary

This study is testing whether a 16-week home exercise program can help Black and Hispanic patients with breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer stay more active and protect their heart health while they undergo chemotherapy. About 135 participants are randomly assigned to try either supervised virtual workouts, unsupervised home workouts, or a simple stretching routine. The goal is to see which approach best helps patients maintain fitness and reduce health risks during cancer treatment.
