Aerobic exercise study after colon or rectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have had colon or rectal cancer confirmed by pathology, and it was stage I, II, or III
- You already had surgery meant to remove all cancer, and you finished other cancer treatments
- You are not exercising more than 150 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous endurance exercise
- You will not have major surgery planned during the study period

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.
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise and nutrition program before rectal cancer surgery can help you recover faster and have fewer complications. If you are not very active right now, you may be able to join.
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 nutrition support and exercise help patients with early-stage colon cancer recover better after surgery. Researchers will provide dietary guidance and a supervised exercise program tailored to your needs.
This study tests whether adding regular exercise during your standard chemoradiotherapy can help the treatment work better for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. It is designed for patients who have already been offered this type of therapy before surgery.
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.
