Interventions

  • Exercise Coaching — BEHAVIORAL
    An exercise coaching program tailored for women with Stage I-IVA endometrial cancer who have undergone total or modified radical hysterectomy with surgical staging. The intervention targets a total of 8 participants who are planned to complete pelvic external beam radiation therapy as part of their adjuvant treatment.

Study Details

Research has shown that for women who are undergoing pelvic radiation therapy, fatigue is a common side effect. Fatigue that occurs during radiation therapy can make it harder to perform daily living activities. While there are studies that recommend exercise as a treatment for fatigue in cancer patients and survivors, there are currently no studies that focus on the role of exercise for women undergoing pelvic radiation therapy. The purpose of this study is to see if incorporating an activity coaching program is helpful in improving treatment-related fatigue for women undergoing pelvic radiation therapy for endometrial cancer.
