Supervised Exercise in Improving Physical Fitness Before Surgery in Patients With Resectable Bone Cancer

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Malignant Bone Neoplasm

In brief

This clinical trial studies how well supervised exercise works in improving physical fitness before surgery in patients with bone cancer that can be removed by surgery. Supervised exercise may provide better short-term physical fitness in patients with bone cancer.

Who can join

Age: 5 and older, up to 39. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Patients must have a new diagnosis of primary bone tumor, and whose treatment plan includes surgery
• Patients who are expected to receive at least 4 weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment between enrollment in the study and planned surgery
• Participants willing to wear a Fitbit

You may not qualify if…

• Patients who are not receiving their primary cancer care (surgery and chemotherapy) at MD Anderson Cancer Center (participants from the supervised exercise group only)
• Patients who have a cognitive disorder which impacts the ability to follow directions or adhere to safety rules; this will be determined by the physical therapist by assessing whether a neurological disorder or musculoskeletal disorder would prevent the patient from safely exercising
• Patients who have a neurological or structural disorder which would impact use of exercise equipment; this will be determined by the physical therapist by assessing whether a neurological disorder or musculoskeletal disorder would prevent the patient from safely exercising
• Any patient who, in the opinion of the investigators, will be unable to comply with a supervised exercise regimen
• Any concurrent co-morbid illness and/or infection which in the opinion of the investigators could make the patient unable to comply fully with the trial procedures
