Women's Activity and Lifestyle study (WALC)

Despite an increase in longevity, surviving ovarian cancer often brings an array of
unpleasant side effects and compromises in QOL. Our proposed trial will be the first study to
test whether exercise compared with attention control has a beneficial impact on quality of
life, fitness and surrogate markers of ovarian cancer. Our trial could suggest a unique and
important role for exercise in ovarian cancer care given that physical and functional aspects
of QOL are often the most compromised in ovarian cancer patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

- stage I-IV ovarian cancer
