Summary

This study tests whether a program of exercise and nutrition counseling helps women with ovarian or endometrial cancer stick with their chemotherapy plan. About 200 women who are about to start chemotherapy will be randomly assigned to either receive weekly coaching sessions on physical activity and diet, or to receive standard care. Researchers will track how much of the planned chemotherapy each participant actually receives, and also measure changes in muscle mass and other health outcomes.
