Summary

This study looks at women with newly diagnosed breast cancer who take part in exercise or mind-body programs for 3-6 weeks before their surgery.

They also check for changes in tumor growth markers and blood hormones linked to breast cancer. The study does not provide treatment and will not share individual test results with participants.
