Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are cancer patients at high risk of treatment-related cardiotoxicity who can participate in a rehabilitation program.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with physical or mental limitations that prevent them from completing an exercise program may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the outcomes of a Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation (CORe) program that focuses on exercise for cancer patients undergoing treatments that may cause heart problems. Participants will be offered either in-person or remote exercise options based on their functional assessments and preferences. The program includes a 3-month supervised exercise intervention, with health indicators, functional capacity, and quality of life assessed at baseline, after the intervention, and at a 9-month follow-up. The goal is to improve the overall treatment experience and quality of life for patients at risk of cardiotoxicity.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for cancer patients at risk of heart complications.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with exercise-based rehabilitation programs in improving outcomes for cancer patients, indicating a promising approach.
