What it does not prove

  • No results are reported—this is a protocol description, not outcome data, so effectiveness of the exercise intervention cannot be evaluated.
  • The study does not address whether exercise affects cancer prognosis, recurrence, or survival.
  • Without reported effect sizes or sample size justification, the statistical power and clinical meaningfulness of any findings remain unknown.

Abstract or registry material supplied for assessment; source version 1. This is not a claim of full-text review.

PhActHealth is a multicenter randomized controlled trial enrolling women with newly diagnosed luminal B or triple-negative breast cancer (BC) who are candidates for neoadjuvant therapy.
Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group.
All patients receive lifestyle counseling, while those in the intervention group additionally follow a personalized aerobic and resistance exercise program throughout the neoadjuvant treatment period before surgery.
The primary outcome is the improvement in exercise capacity.
The secondary outcomes are tumor-specific and systemic responses to the intervention, evaluated by analyzing molecular, metabolic, and inflammatory markers, as well as clinical and functional parameters.
