Can Pre-Surgery training improve recovery in gynecologic cancer?
NCT ID NCT07608445
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a physiatry-led prehabilitation program—including exercise, nutrition, and mind-body practices—can help women with advanced gynecologic cancer stay stronger before surgery. Twenty-five participants will follow the program during their neoadjuvant treatment. The main goal is to see if it's feasible, not yet to prove it works.
