Remote Home-Based Exercise Program for Strength Training in Endometrial Cancer Survivors in Rural Areas

Description

This clinical trial studies how well a remotely delivered home-based exercise program for strength training works to positively impact endometrial cancer (EC) survivorship for patients with decreased cancer survivorship access. Cancer survivors in rural areas face barriers to supportive care, including geographic and environmental barriers to exercise and technology. Rural areas in the Midwest are underserved in terms of cancer care thus, it is essential to develop and test interventions that are scalable and can reach many individuals including those living in rural areas. Remotely-delivered exercise intervention approach allows for cancer survivors who may live far away from their primary treatment center to engage in supportive therapy via exercise interventions delivered in a sustainable context. In addition, historically black, hispanic and native endometrial cancer survivors have shorter survival and less access to survivorship care, so alternative models for healthcare delivery are needed in this underserved group. Information gained from this research may help determine whether utilizing a remotely delivered exercise program can positively impact EC survivorship for patients with decreased cancer survivorship access.

Conditions

FIGO Grade 1 Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma, FIGO Grade 2 Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma, Stage IA Uterine Corpus Cancer AJCC V8, Stage IB Uterine Corpus Cancer AJCC V8
