ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well muscles use oxygen during exercise in women who have survived breast cancer. The study will measure oxygen levels in different muscles while participants do various physical tests, like walking for six minutes or standing up from a chair repeatedly. Researchers want to understand how these oxygen levels and exercise abilities differ among women who have received different types of cancer treatment, such as hormonal therapy alone or hormonal therapy combined with chemotherapy.

To be eligible for this study, women need to be between 30 and 70 years old, have completed their breast cancer treatment at least six months ago, and be able to participate in physical tests. It's important that they are not currently undergoing any cancer treatment and do not have serious health issues that would affect their ability to exercise. Participants will receive support and guidance throughout the testing process, and the findings may help improve the quality of life and physical functioning for breast cancer survivors in the future.
