Pre-Surgical Supervised Exercise for Bone Cancer Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This clinical trial studies how well supervised exercise works in improving physical fitness before surgery in patients with bone cancer that can be removed by surgery. Supervised exercise may provide better short-term physical fitness in patients with bone cancer.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Patients who are not receiving their primary cancer care (surgery and chemotherapy) at MD Anderson Cancer Center (participants from the supervised exercise group only)
- Any concurrent co-morbid illness and/or infection which in the opinion of the investigators could make the patient unable to comply fully with the trial procedures
Other illness
- Patients who have a cognitive disorder which impacts the ability to follow directions or adhere to safety rules; this will be determined by the physical therapist by assessing whether a neurological disorder or musculoskeletal disorder would prevent the patient from safely exercising
- Patients who have a neurological or structural disorder which would impact use of exercise equipment; this will be determined by the physical therapist by assessing whether a neurological disorder or musculoskeletal disorder would prevent the patient from safely exercising
Other
- Any patient who, in the opinion of the investigators, will be unable to comply with a supervised exercise regimen
Who the study is looking for
- Patients must have a new diagnosis of primary bone tumor, and whose treatment plan includes surgery
- Patients who are expected to receive at least 4 weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment between enrollment in the study and planned surgery
- Participants willing to wear a Fitbit
Age in the registry: 5 years to 39 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
