Can exercise and education before cancer treatment boost resilience?
NCT ID NCT07162987
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-week prehabilitation program for 20 prostate cancer patients about to start hormone and radiation therapy. The program includes physical exercise and a 4-day residential session with education and activities. Researchers want to see if patients and their families find the program acceptable and if it helps maintain quality of life during treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Prehabilitation (exercise training and education)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a structured prehabilitation program helps prostate cancer patients better tolerate treatment side effects and maintain quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small feasibility study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The main goal is to test if the program is acceptable, not to prove it works.
