Summary

This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of exercise during chemotherapy in older women with stage I-III breast cancer. Previous studies have reported that exercise may reduce the chemotherapy-toxicity risk. This trial may help researchers learn if engaging in a physical activity program is feasible in patients receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 65 years or older, female * Histologically confirmed Stage I, II or III breast cancer (if the patient has had more than one breast cancer, then the most recent diagnosis) * Scheduled to begin adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen either as standard-of-care or on study * English or Spanish speaking * Able to provide written, informed consent * Patient-assessed ability to walk and engage in moderate physical activity * Willing and able to meet all study requirements Exclusion Criteria: * The presence of significant medical conditions that in the physician's judgement preclude participation in the exercise intervention
