Summary
This study tests whether a 16-week, virtually supervised aerobic and resistance exercise program can help patients with ovarian or endometrial cancer maintain leg function and reduce chemotherapy-induced nerve pain. Thirty newly diagnosed patients receiving first-line chemotherapy after surgery will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and improves mobility and inflammation markers.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to help cancer patients stay mobile and reduce nerve damage during chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercise program may be too demanding for some patients.
