Study Summary

This trial looks at whether exercising before surgery can improve fitness in patients with bone cancer.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients newly diagnosed with primary bone tumors who are planning to have surgery and will receive at least 4 weeks of chemotherapy before the operation. They must be willing to wear a Fitbit and get their main cancer treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Those with neurological or structural issues that prevent safe exercise, severe co-morbid illnesses, or cognitive disorders affecting safety adherence cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing whether supervised exercise can improve physical fitness in bone cancer patients before they undergo surgery. Participants will engage in an exercise regimen while wearing an activity monitor (Fitbit) to track their progress.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly mentioned, potential side effects may include typical risks associated with physical activity such as muscle strain, fatigue, joint pain, and increased risk of injury especially since participants have bone tumors.
