Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week home-based exercise program can improve heart and lung fitness in men with prostate cancer who are receiving hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy). The 60 participants will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or a healthy living education group. The goal is to see if exercise can help reduce the risk of heart disease, a common side effect of this cancer treatment.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Behavioral exercise training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, home-based exercise program to help men on hormone therapy for prostate cancer keep their hearts healthier.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercise program may be hard to stick with, and it's not yet known if it will meaningfully reduce heart risks.
