Study Summary

The overall goal of this proposal is to test the effect of exercise to delay or avert HCC recurrence and gain information regarding the potential molecular mechanisms of HCC tumor inhibition by exercise.

Primary Outcome

Defined as completing \>80% of the sessions.(46, 47) While this would be expected for patients with cirrhosis,(46) this would be five-fold larger than the proportion of oncology patients receiving systemic treatment who complete other exercise based randomized controlled trials. We expect exercise in subjects with HCC in the background of Child Pugh Turcotte (CPT) Class A cirrhosis without hepatic decompensation (e.g., ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, bleeding gastroesophageal varices) and Easte
