Health and Recovery Program in Increasing Physical Activity Level in Stage IA-IIIA Endometrial Cancer Survivors
United States47 participantsStarted 2017-12-01
Plain-language summary
This randomized phase II trial studies how well a health and recovery program works in increasing physical activity level in stage IA-IIIA endometrial cancer survivors. Health and recovery program which includes exercise counseling, Fitbit tracker, and phone or email/text communication may increase the level of physical activity in endometrial cancer survivors and promote and maintain behavior change at a lower cost.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial used a Fitbit tracker to measure whether survivors of stage IA–IIIA endometrial cancer increased their physical activity — since the trial is now completed, has my doctor seen any published results, and what did the program actually involve day-to-day?
2Because this was a Phase 2 trial focused on a lifestyle program rather than a drug, what does that mean for how confident we can be in its findings, and would my doctor consider the approach safe and appropriate given my specific stage and treatment history?
3The trial focused on cancer survivors who had already finished treatment — given where I am in my own recovery, would my doctor think a structured physical activity program like this is something worth pursuing now, or should other health factors be addressed first?
4Are there similar exercise or wellness programs available to me locally or through my cancer center that follow the kind of approach studied in this trial, so I don't have to wait for a research setting to benefit from it?
5My doctor knows my full picture — are there any reasons related to my surgery, staging, or any ongoing side effects that would make increasing physical activity risky for me right now, and how would we track progress safely?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
