Prehabilitation for Improving Outcomes in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Systemic Treatment and Surgery
Sponsor: City of Hope Medical Center
Summary
This clinical trial evaluates whether a prehabilitation program is feasible for breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant systemic treatment before surgery. Many people with breast cancer have problems during and after treatment. These issues can make daily activities harder and make it harder for a person to enjoy daily life. Some people with breast cancer already have other health problems, like joint pain or nerve problems, which can make these symptoms worse. Research shows that being stronger and more active before and during treatment may help people do better during cancer care and recover more easily. However, many patients do not get this type of support early enough. Prehabilitation is a program that helps patients get ready for cancer treatment and surgery. It may include help with medical care, exercise, food and nutrition, and mental health. The goal is to help patients stay as strong and healthy as possible before surgery. Starting prehabilitation during neoadjuvant systemic treatment before surgery may help breast cancer patients feel better, stay stronger and recover more easily during treatment.
