Pre-surgery exercise and nutrition for older colorectal cancer patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether exercise and nutrition support before surgery can help older colorectal cancer patients who are weak or malnourished. If you are 65 or older, scheduled for colorectal cancer surgery, and have trouble walking or eating well, this study may be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You have colorectal cancer and are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor.
- You have low physical ability, meaning you can walk less than 400 meters in 6 minutes.
- You are malnourished based on a standard assessment (scored 9 or higher on the PG-SGA).
- You do not have cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).
- You do not have conditions like dementia, Parkinson's disease, or a stroke that affects your movement.
