Exercise Therapy before Surgery in Patients with Resectable Solid Tumors, PRESTO-2 Trial

Trial Status: temporarily closed to accrual

This clinical trial tests the effectiveness of exercise therapy done before standard surgery in patients with solid tumor cancers that can be removed by surgery (resectable). The exercise therapy in this study will be regular home-based walking sessions on a treadmill, and that therapy will be assigned by an exercise physiologist (a medical professional who studies how exercise affects the human body). Researchers think exercise can help regulate the way the cells in the body interact with each other. By regulating signals sent between cells, exercise may help improve outcomes of cancer treatments.
