ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring an online program called Therapeutic Exercise and Education Program (TEEP) designed for cancer patients and survivors. The goal is to see how well this program works and if it’s easy for patients to participate in, especially for those who have metastatic breast cancer or gynecological cancer, as well as breast cancer survivors who are currently receiving treatment after surgery.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be between the ages of 65 and 74, have a stable internet connection, and be comfortable using a computer. It's important that they also have an adult with them during the assessment day. However, individuals who are very uncomfortable with technology or prefer not to stay at home may not be eligible. Participants can expect to engage in online exercises and educational sessions that aim to improve their health and well-being while managing their cancer journey. This trial is currently looking for volunteers to join the program.
