ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how exercise affects the immune system in cancer patients. Researchers want to see how a single session of exercise compares between those undergoing cancer treatment and healthy individuals of the same age. The study is currently recruiting participants who are adolescents and young adults over the age of 14 and are receiving chemotherapy. To join, participants need to be able to follow instructions and sign consent, but those with certain health issues or recent chemotherapy treatments may not be eligible.

If you or someone you know qualifies for this trial, you can expect to take part in a specific exercise program while having your immune response monitored. This research could help us understand how exercise might benefit cancer patients during treatment. It’s a chance to contribute to important findings in cancer care and possibly improve health outcomes for others in the future.
