This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether daily resistance exercises—done with elastic bands during your hospital stay—can help improve your overall health while you're being treated for ocular melanoma (a type of eye cancer) with radiation. Half of the participants will do 30-minute supervised exercise sessions each day during their 5-7 day hospital stay, while the other half will follow the standard care of bed rest.
During radiation treatment for eye cancer, patients typically spend several days isolated in a hospital room with bed rest, which can lead to muscle weakness, mood changes, and reduced quality of life. Researchers want to see if gentle, supervised exercise during this time might help protect your physical fitness and mental health.

You will be randomly assigned to either the exercise group or the standard care group. If you're in the exercise group, you'll do a supervised 30-minute resistance training session each day during your 5-7 day hospital stay, using elastic bands under the guidance of a trained physician. Both groups will have blood tests and questionnaires about your physical function, quality of life, anxiety, and mood before and after your hospital treatment.
