Feasibility of Symptom Management for Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer to Increase Exercise
Sponsor: UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
This study will examine unmet exercise needs among patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) at UNC and assess whether participation in Get Real and Heel (GRH) can increase physical activity. The proposed research aims to improve multiple domains of well-being, quality of life, physical function, social support and reduce social isolation through a community based exercise intervention. By leveraging underutilized University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (UNC) resources, this work seeks to reduce barriers to accessibility, awareness, and appropriateness of exercise programming for this underserved population. Findings will help close the gap between patients' exercise needs, interest, and participation, with potential benefits for symptoms, functioning, and quality of life.
