Exercise Program for Lymphoma
Trial Summary
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Interrupted Sedentary Time Intervention for lymphoma?
Research shows that being physically active improves survival rates and quality of life for lymphoma patients. Increasing physical activity after diagnosis is linked to better overall survival and lymphoma-specific survival, suggesting that interventions like Interrupted Sedentary Time could be beneficial.12345
Is exercise safe for lymphoma patients?
How does the exercise program treatment for lymphoma differ from other treatments?
The exercise program for lymphoma is unique because it focuses on improving physical activity and fitness to enhance survival outcomes and reduce fatigue, rather than using medication or traditional therapies. This approach is novel as it aims to break the cycle of fatigue and inactivity, which is common in lymphoma patients, and improve overall quality of life.14689
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study aims to see if a 12-week exercise program designed to reduce long periods of inactivity is feasible in newly diagnosed lymphoma participants receiving R-CHOP or POLA-R-CHP chemotherapy treatments, and whether it can improve heart health and reduce chemotherapy drug side effects.
