Summary

This study tests a program of exercise, protein drinks, and mind-body activities like yoga for people aged 65 and older with advanced ovarian or pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if patients can stick with the program while on chemotherapy before surgery. The study is small, with 22 participants, and focuses on whether the program is doable, not on curing the disease.
