ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying whether an activity coaching program can help reduce fatigue in women undergoing pelvic radiation therapy for endometrial cancer. Fatigue is a common issue during treatment, and exercise may improve daily functioning, but there haven’t been studies focused specifically on women in this situation. The goal is to see if coaching can make a positive difference in how they feel during their treatment.
To participate in this study, women must be at least 18 years old, diagnosed with endometrial cancer, and scheduled to receive radiation therapy. They should be able to walk without help and have access to a computer or smartphone for online coaching. Participants will not need to give up any activities they enjoy and can expect to receive guidance on incorporating exercise into their routine to help manage fatigue.
