Lifestyle Intervention for the Reduction of Breast Cancer Risk in Normal Weight Women

Active Not RecruitingNA

Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Conditions: Breast Carcinoma

Interventions: Aerobic Exercise, Dietary Intervention, Quality-of-Life Assessment, Questionnaire Administration, Resistance Training

Countries: United States

This trial studies how well a lifestyle intervention works in reducing breast cancer risk through changing body composition and decreasing inflammation in normal weight women. This trial may help researchers learn more about diet and exercise programs designed to decrease body fat in postmenopausal women who are of normal weight but have an elevated risk of breast cancer because of excess body fat.
