Mesothelioma UK, the national asbestos-related cancer charity, has awarded a £38,301 grant for an 18-month research project to explore how exercise therapy can improve symptom control, fitness and the quality of life of mesothelioma patients.

The new project, titled ‘EXTRA-Meso feasibility study – EXercise TheRApy in Mesothelioma’, is a collaboration between researchers from the University of Glasgow, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) and Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance.

The new study follows the successful Prehab4Cancer and Recovery programme, a free exercise, nutrition and wellbeing scheme in Greater Manchester. It was designed to help people with a recent diagnosis of cancer prepare for and cope better with their treatment.
