About this trial

Choroidal melanoma (CM) is one of the most common intraocular cancers worldwide. During treatment with episcleral brachytherapy, patients require a week of hospitalization in isolation. The primary aim of this study will be to investigate the effects of resistance training during hospitalization on health-related blood biomarkers in CM patients. Our secondary aim will be to assess changes in physical function tests, quality of life and anxiety and depression. Candidates for this study will be patients undergoing CM treatment at the "Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe" of Valencia.
