What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined intervention that includes physical exercise, nutritional control, and individualized psycho-oncological support for premenopausal women with localized breast cancer who are undergoing ovarian suppression therapy. The primary focus is on achieving weight control and improving body composition by reducing body fat and increasing lean mass. Secondary objectives include assessing the impact of the intervention on various health metrics such as cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, and patient-reported outcomes related to quality of life. The study is designed to address the adverse effects of breast cancer treatments, particularly in younger women at high risk of relapse.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help improve body composition and overall health outcomes for women undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While similar interventions have shown promise in improving outcomes for breast cancer patients, this specific combination of approaches is relatively novel.
