Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults diagnosed with choroidal melanoma who are receiving plaque brachytherapy at the Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with health conditions that prevent high-intensity resistance training, unstable cardiac illnesses, serious metabolic disorders, or significant orthopedic issues may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of resistance training on health-related blood biomarkers in patients with choroidal melanoma undergoing treatment with episcleral brachytherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard care or an intervention group performing daily resistance training sessions during their hospitalization. The training will utilize elastic resistance bands and will be supervised by a trained physician. Additionally, the study will assess changes in physical function, quality of life, and levels of anxiety and depression.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the physical and mental well-being of patients undergoing treatment for ocular melanoma.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on resistance training specifically for ocular melanoma patients, similar approaches in other cancer treatments have shown positive outcomes.
