About This Breast Cancer Study in Cleveland

This research is being done to assess whether an exercise intervention with protein intake support vs a health education and support program will make it easier for women age 65 or older who are receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer to receive all of their planned chemotherapy according to schedule and at the planned dose.

Sponsor: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
