Home-Based Exercise Interventions for the Improvement of Physical Activity in Black, Latinx, or Hispanic Patients with Breast, Colorectal, or Prostate Cancer Undergoing Chemotherapy, THRIVE Trial

Trial Status: active

This clinical trial evaluates whether a home-based aerobic and resistance exercise intervention works to increase physical activity levels in Black, Latinx, or Hispanic patients with breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer receiving chemotherapy. Obesity-related cancers like breast, prostate, and colorectal are more prevalent among minorities and treatments used for these cancers can have side effects on the heart and lungs. Exercise completed during cancer treatment can help maintain or improve physical fitness and functioning and may reduce some of the toxicities or side effects related to treatment.
