Community-Based Physical Activity Intervention for Underserved Cancer Survivors (NCT06206863)

Community-Based Physical Activity Across the Cancer Continuum

🟢 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Roswell Park Cancer Institute

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This clinical trial evaluates a community-based physical activity program for underserved cancer survivors. Cancer and its treatment significantly influence physical, psychosocial, and cognitive functioning. Historically, community sites (local and national) have not been staffed to offer support services such as physical, and occupational therapies (everyday life activities to promote health and well-being) or nutrition counselling, and do not offer a whole-person model of care. In this study, researchers have partnered with the YMCA to provide tailored home-based exercise programs for underserved cancer patients and survivors. Accessing exercise professionals may allow patients to prevent acute problems from becoming chronic, long-lasting physically weak impairments that directly influence patients' quality of life.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (3 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (6 items).

Location: Roswell Park Cancer Institute — Buffalo, New York

Age range: 18 Years
