AB  - Maintaining or improving muscle mass and muscle strength is an important treatment goal in pancreatic cancer (PC) patients because of high risk of cachexia. Therefore, we assessed feasibility and effectivity of a 6-month progressive resistance training (RT) in PC patients within a randomized controlled trial.Sixty-five PC patients were randomly assigned to either supervised progressive RT (RT1), home-based RT (RT2), or usual care control group (CON). Both exercise groups performed training 2 times per week for 6 months. Muscle strength for knee, elbow, and hip extensors and flexors and cardiorespiratory fitness and body weight were assessed before and after the intervention period.Of 65 patients, 43 patients were analyzed. Adherence rates were 64.1
