Read our Ovarian Cancer research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study compares two approaches for patients with ovarian or endometrial cancer who are receiving chemotherapy: a guided exercise program with aerobic and resistance training, or a stretching program. Researchers want to see if structured exercise helps patients stay stronger, avoid nerve damage from chemotherapy, and maintain better physical function during treatment.
Chemotherapy can cause patients to become less active and lose strength, which can lead to complications like nerve damage and difficulty moving. This trial explores whether guided exercise during treatment can prevent these problems and help patients maintain better quality of life.

You will be randomly assigned to either the exercise group or the stretching group for 16 weeks. If you're in the exercise group, you'll participate in supervised aerobic and resistance workouts from home using Zoom twice a week; if you're in the stretching group, you'll do guided stretching sessions. You'll have screening visits and follow-up evaluations, and you'll provide two small blood samples during the study so researchers can measure inflammation and other markers.
