Cross-Training Program for Cancer Survivors
(CAPABLE Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study will introduce cancer survivors to cross-training with the expectation that the program proposed will ultimately result in superior improvements in functional performance, body composition and quality of life compared with the current American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines for cancer survivors.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with your doctor to ensure it's safe to participate.
Is the Cross-Training Program for Cancer Survivors safe for humans?
The research articles reviewed do not provide specific safety data for the Cross-Training Program for Cancer Survivors or similar interventions. However, they suggest that physical activity programs are generally beneficial and improve health outcomes for cancer survivors, indicating a level of safety in such interventions.12345
How is the Cross-Training Program for Cancer Survivors different from other treatments?
The Cross-Training Program for Cancer Survivors is unique because it focuses on a structured physical activity regimen, which is not a standard treatment for cancer survivors. This program aims to improve physical and emotional well-being through exercise, unlike traditional treatments that primarily focus on medical interventions.12678
