Exercise before surgery may shorten hospital stay for breast cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07574372
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a program of exercise before surgery and a special recovery plan after surgery could help women leave the hospital sooner after a mastectomy. Twenty-four women with breast cancer took part. The program included walking, cycling, and strength exercises before surgery, followed by early movement and shoulder exercises after surgery. The goal was to see if this approach reduced the time spent in the hospital compared to standard care.
