Study Of A Structured Nutrition, Physical Activity, And Symptom Management Program Prior To Pancreatic Cancer Surgery

Description

Seeking men and women who will receive chemotherapy and surgery for their pancreatic cancer at UMass Memorial for a study of a structured nutrition, physical activity, and symptom management program prior to pancreatic cancer surgery

Overview

All participants in the study will receive the structured nutrition, physical activity, and symptom management program after completing chemotherapy and before surgery. Participants will be asked to complete surveys about their health, symptoms and quality of life.

What we're hoping for

We are studying whether a structured nutrition, physical activity, and symptom management program between chemotherapy and surgery for pancreatic cancer is feasible and acceptable for patients undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer
