Gentle exercise before cancer surgery: a feasibility test for seniors
NCT ID NCT05921552
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a home-based exercise program is practical and safe for people aged 65 and older who are waiting for liver or bile duct cancer surgery. About 25 participants will do supervised exercise sessions and be tracked for how many join, stick with it, and report any injuries. The goal is to see if this approach can improve fitness and recovery, not to cure the cancer.
