The Relationships of Resistance Exercise, Walking, Myokine Secretion, Sarcopenia, Muscle Loss, Quality of Life, and Predictors in Cancer Patients Receiving Chemoradiotheray

This study focuses on improving health in cancer patients receiving chemoradiotherapy, which combines chemotherapy and radiation to treat cancer. During this treatment, patients may experience muscle loss and weakness, known as sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle as people age or due to illnesses. The researchers want to see if resistance exercise (like lifting weights) and walking can help. These activities might increase myokines, special proteins from muscles, which could improve muscle growth and strength.

Participants in this study must be cancer patients aged 20-70, able to do exercises, and speak certain languages. Those who can't speak Mandarin, Taiwanese, or Hakka are not eligible. The study will observe changes in muscle strength and quality of life before and after the treatment.

• The study involves exercise sessions.
• Participants need to be available for physical activities.
• Potential improvement in quality of life and muscle strength.
