Fitness and Nutrition for Malignant Glioma
This study is looking at how a modified Atkins diet (a low-carb eating plan) combined with a fitness program might help people with malignant glioma (a type of brain cancer). The fitness program involves supervised exercise sessions and a home exercise plan. We want to see how these interventions affect your quality of life, measured by a health questionnaire, and how many people complete the 12-week program. You may be able to join if you are 18 to 100 years old, have a confirmed diagnosis of high-grade glioma, and are generally able to care for yourself. The study plans to enroll 15 participants.
