Summary

This study tests whether a home-based exercise and nutrition program, called prehabilitation, can improve physical function in adults aged 65 and older with breast cancer before they have surgery. The program includes strength, balance, and flexibility exercises tailored to each person. Researchers will also look at biological markers to see who benefits most. The goal is to help patients stay stronger and reduce complications after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: structured exercise and nutrition program (prehabilitation)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could help older breast cancer patients stay stronger before surgery and recover better afterward.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires commitment and may not be suitable for all patients.
