First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a remote exercise and nutrition program is practical and acceptable for people with pancreatic cancer who are waiting for surgery. Participants will use a Fitbit, get nutrition advice, and do resistance training at home. The goal is to see if this 'prehabilitation' approach can help patients be stronger going into surgery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a home-based exercise and nutrition program helps pancreatic cancer patients recover better after surgery.
