Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Virtual mind-body group exercise classes (VMB)

Will be provided with the schedule and links to the web-based mind-body exercises offered by MSK in real-time via the Zoom video conferencing platform. Each session is led by a licensed clinician (e.g., licensed dance therapist, certified yoga instructor, nurse specialist/physical trainer) with specific expertise in the oncology setting.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual mind-body group exercise classes

Intervention Type OTHER

Pre-operative period (baseline/intake day to day before surgery): mid- to high intensity classes focusing on aerobic physical activity, relaxation, and stress management (classes: Fitness for Everyone, Tai Chi, Mat Yoga, Dance Cardio, Meditation, Core Strength, Music Therapy)

* Immediate post-operative period (post-operative hospitalization to 2 weeks after surgery): low- to mid-intensity classes focusing on relaxation, stress management and low-impact physical activity (classes: Chair Yoga, Dance Therapy, Meditation, Music Therapy)
* Late post-operative period (3-12 weeks after surgery): mid- to high-intensity classes focusing on aerobic physical activity, relaxation, and stress management (classes: Fitness for Everyone, Tai Chi, Mat Yoga, Dance Cardio, Meditation, Core Strength, Music Therapy)

Enhanced usual care (EUC)

Pre-recorded self-care videos.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Enhanced usual care

Intervention Type OTHER

EUC arm will be referred to MSK's multimedia page on the Integrative Medicine website to access pre-recorded mind-body videos on their own time. These videos are 15-60 minutes in duration and consist of educational and self-care videos, including guided meditation and Tai Chi.
