Exercise program to reduce treatment side effects in GI cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
