This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing a supportive program designed to help people with pancreatic cancer get physically and nutritionally stronger while they're receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The program combines exercise, nutrition coaching, and other supportive care delivered during your chemotherapy treatment. The goal is to help you be in the best possible condition going into your surgery.
Pancreatic cancer surgery is demanding on the body, and researchers believe that improving your fitness and nutrition before the operation might help you recover better and have fewer complications. This pilot study will help determine whether this type of pre-surgery preparation program is practical and helpful.

You would join a structured program during your chemotherapy treatment that includes guided physical activity, nutritional support, and other supportive care coordinated with your regular cancer care. The research team will assess your fitness and gather information about your health at the start, after your chemotherapy ends and before surgery, and about one month after your surgery to see how the program affected your strength and recovery.
