About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether a home exercise and eating schedule program is practical and may help people with breast cancer. It is for adults who have finished certain cancer treatments and are prescribed hormone therapy. The study tracks symptoms, physical abilities, and how well people follow the program.

This study evaluates the feasibility and preliminary effects of a home based exercise and activity program for individuals with cancer. Participants will engage in a structured intervention designed to support physical activity and symptom management. The study will assess changes in patient reported outcomes, functional measures, and overall adherence to the program. Findings will help determine whether this approach is practical and potentially beneficial for improving health related outcomes in this population.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
