Activity Coaching During Pelvic Radiation Therapy for Endometrial Cancer
This study is looking at whether an activity coaching program can help women with endometrial cancer who are receiving pelvic radiation therapy. Radiation therapy can cause fatigue, making daily activities harder. While exercise is known to help with cancer-related fatigue, its role specifically during pelvic radiation therapy hasn't been studied much. This research will test an Exercise Coaching program, where you'll work with a certified coach to set weekly activity goals. The main goal of this study is to see if it's practical to conduct a larger study on this topic, by looking at how well participants stick with the coaching sessions. The study plans to enroll 16 women who are at least 18 years old, have Stage I-IVA endometrial cancer, have had a hysterectomy, and are scheduled for pelvic external beam radiation therapy.

What this trial measures
- Feasibility of a Randomized Trial: Participant Adherence to Exercise Coaching SessionsEnrollment to end of follow up, up to 24 months
Participant adherence to coaching sessions will be defined as complete adherence when engaging in 10 of the 10 planned exercise coaching sessions and high adherence as engaging in at least 7 of the planned 10 exercise coach check-ins. Participant adherence will be considered feasible if 70% of participants adhere to the coaching sessions.
