What this trial studies

This study evaluates a 12-week rehabilitation program designed for adults who are currently undergoing or have recently completed cancer treatment. The program focuses on exercise-based interventions, including resistance and aerobic training, to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors. It aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of these physical activities, along with cognitive and psychological support, in addressing residual deficits such as fatigue and depression. Participants will engage in the program twice a week to monitor their progress and outcomes.
