What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a simple home exercise program helps endometrial cancer survivors lose weight and maintain muscle mass, improving their quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is a very small feasibility study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is not designed to prove long-term health benefits.
