Malignancy
NO
To assess the safety of NMES in patients with cancer and its acceptance compared to conventional exercise therapy. Additionally, to verify the preventive effects of NMES on skeletal muscle atrophy.
Safety,Efficacy
1. NMES implementation rate
2. Adverse events (Myalgia,Purpura,Fatigue,Pain of skin) assessed using CTCAE v5.0
1. Knee extension strength
2. Quadriceps muscle thickness
3. Timed Up and Go (TUG) test
4. Five times chair stand test

Intervention Group: In addition to following a standard exercise therapy programme similar to the control group, the NMES group will also receive NMES. The NMES treatment will be administered using the ESPURGE device (Ito Co., Ltd.). The electrode pads will be placed on the quadriceps muscles of both legs. The NMES treatment will be applied for 30 minutes per session, five days a week, for a total of 10 days. The frequency settings will be 50Hz and a pulse width of 200~300 usec.
Control Group: Based on the criteria for discontinuation of cancer rehabilitation and under the direction of a physician, the control group will focus on strength training, range of motion exercises, basic movement exercises, and activities of daily living training.

| Not applicable |
Male and Female
1. Patients aged 18 years or older with advanced or recurrent cancer (with evidence of locally advanced disease or histological, cytological, or radiological metastases).
2. Patients who have been provided with comprehensive information regarding their participation in the study and who have provided written consent to take part in the study of their own volition, having had sufficient time to consider the implications of their participation.
1. Presence of cancer metastases in the thigh area to be treated with NMES
2. Cognitive impairment that prevents understanding or compliance with physical function assessment or exercise instructions
3. Determination by treating physician that participation is inappropriate
4. Planned early discharge
5. Patient or family request to withdraw from the study
