Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The aim of the study is to find out whether supervised physical exercise during cancer drug treatment improves the effectiveness of the treatment in metastasized breast, kidney, ovarian and prostate cancer compared to unsupervised exercise. In addition, the investigators are investigating whether the use of atorvastatin combined with guided group exercise training would further improve the response to cancer treatment.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Guided physical exercise arm
- description
- 20 patients from each type of cancer (altogether 80) are randomized to a 3 months guided physical exercise arm. At the beginning of the intervention the patients' physical condition and body composition are measured. After that an exercise program begins. All subjects participate in physical exercise program twice a week for three months. At the end of the intervention, the physical condition and body composition are measured again. During the follow-up after the intervention the patients are advised to exercise regularly. Physical condition and body composition are measured again after 6 months. Exercise activity is asked during each follow-up visit. In addition, as a separate group, 20 patients from each type of cancer (altogether 80) who are already using statin medication are randomized to this arm.

- description
- 20 patients from each type of cancer (altogether 80) are randomized to a 3 months guided physical exercise + atorvastatin (40 mg QD) arm. At the beginning of the intervention the patients' physical condition and body composition are measured. After that an exercise program begins. All subjects participate in physical exercise program twice a week for three months. At the end of the intervention, the physical condition and body composition are measured again. During the follow-up after the intervention the patients are advised to exercise regularly. Physical condition and body composition are measured again after 6 months.
