Study of muscle loss in colon cancer patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at muscle loss (called sarcopenia) in people with colon cancer to test an intervention that may help strength or recovery. If you’re age 70 or older and meet the cancer and health requirements, you may be able to take part.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 70 years old
- Have colon cancer (colon adenocarcinoma), not rectal cancer
- Have no other cancer spread at the same time (no synchronous metastasis)
- Not need urgent surgery right now
- Be able to do daily activities at a level doctors consider ok (ECOG 0 to 2)
- Be able to sign consent and follow the study plan

This trial looks at whether low muscle mass (sarcopenia) before surgery affects recovery for older adults with gastrointestinal cancer. It may help doctors personalize care and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) might affect side effects from cancer treatments. If you are starting a new cancer treatment, a CT scan before treatment can help doctors predict your risk of side effects.
This study tests whether personalized cooking and nutrition guidance plus a physical activity program can help reduce muscle loss in people with advanced cancer. It aims to improve strength and quality of life during chemotherapy.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects people diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 50. It uses CT or MRI scans taken at diagnosis to measure muscle mass and see how it relates to treatment and outcomes.
This study looks at how chemotherapy and immunotherapy affect the body in older adults with colorectal cancer, especially early side effects. It may help researchers understand why some people lose strength and how to better predict and manage treatment toxicity.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help breast cancer survivors who have lost muscle strength and mass (sarcopenia) rebuild their muscle and improve their physical function. Participation involves supervised or guided exercises designed to be safe for your condition.
