Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
Feasibility Study of the Addition of a Personal Trainer to the Post-Treatment Regimen of Breast Cancer Survivors
Summary
The purpose is to examine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the role of a personal trainer for non-metastatic breast cancer survivors to improve physical activity and well-being (in terms of quality of life).
Full Description
After breast cancer treatment, many women are faced with effects of treatment such as changes in appearance, fatigue, and reduced quality of life as compared to the pre-disease state.
