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 whether a supervised, personalized exercise program can help pancreatic cancer patients who are frail or weaker maintain their strength and function while receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The program uses gentle, low-intensity resistance exercises tailored to each person's ability. Researchers want to see if this kind of exercise is safe, feasible, and actually helps patients stay stronger during their cancer treatment.
Pancreatic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy often become weaker and may struggle to complete their treatment or recover well after surgery, especially if they were already frail before starting. This trial exists to see whether targeted exercise during chemotherapy can help prevent this decline and improve outcomes.

If you join this study, you will participate in a supervised exercise program designed just for you while you receive chemotherapy. A trainer will guide you through low-intensity, strength-building exercises during regular visits. You will also complete fitness tests and answer questions about how you are feeling and functioning. The study will monitor your safety and track whether the exercise helps you stay stronger during treatment.
