Exercise program during chemotherapy for colon cancer recovery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests an aerobic exercise plan during chemotherapy for people with stage II or III colon cancer. It compares different exercise approaches to see if exercise can be done safely and may improve how you tolerate treatment and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have stage II or stage III colon cancer that was confirmed by pathology (biopsy/surgery results)
- You already had surgery meant to remove the cancer completely, and you are starting chemotherapy
- You can do less than 60 minutes per week of aerobic exercise now and can start the study’s exercise plan
- You are able to walk 400 meters and feel ready to exercise based on a short questionnaire
- You will avoid major surgery during the study and you can consent in writing (including reading/speaking English)

This trial studies whether a supervised aerobic exercise program helps muscles “remodel” (change/strengthen) after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It may help people improve physical function during recovery, but you can only join if it’s safe for you and you can follow the study plan.
This trial tests a distance-based exercise program designed to help people on chemotherapy maintain their physical function and prevent disability. It is for patients with certain cancers who are working full-time and can participate in moderate physical activity.
This trial studies whether supervised exercise—either aerobic fitness training or muscle-strength training—can improve outcomes for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It compares which approach is most helpful and checks whether it’s safe during first-line chemotherapy.
This study tests whether supervised exercise during chemotherapy is safe and helpful for people with early-stage breast cancer. It may support physical function and well-being while you are receiving cancer treatment.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise plan can lessen side effects from chemotherapy in people with colorectal or stomach/esophagus solid tumors. If you’re about to start chemotherapy, the study will check whether exercising helps you feel and function better during treatment.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program during pre-surgery chemotherapy can be safely done and may help people feel and function better during treatment. You may join if you have invasive breast cancer and can commit to the exercise plan while on chemotherapy.
