Exercise before colon cancer surgery for better recovery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a pre-surgery exercise program (called prehabilitation) helps improve recovery after colon cancer surgery. It's for older adults with colon cancer who are planning to have surgery.
