First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot trial will test whether a prehabilitation program (exercise, protein drinks, breathing exercises, and coaching) is feasible for women awaiting ovarian cancer surgery. It compares in-person delivery, remote delivery via a web app, and standard education-only care. The study enrolls 36 women and focuses on whether they can meet exercise goals and which approach they prefer.
