Muscle training and nutrition support after gastrointestinal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special type of muscle training (called whole-body electromyostimulation) combined with nutritional therapy to help people recovering from gastrointestinal cancer surgery. It aims to improve strength, nutrition, and overall recovery.

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 trial tests if using a mild electrical device on your legs after surgery can help you recover faster. It is for people with colorectal or stomach cancer who are having curative abdominal surgery.
This trial studies whether a program of exercise and liquid nutrition given through a tube (enteral nutrition) after surgery for stomach cancer can help people live longer. It may help you recover better and improve survival.
This trial tests a digital exercise program to help you get stronger before surgery for cancers of the pancreas, liver, bile ducts, stomach, or esophagus. The goal is to improve your recovery after surgery.
This trial tests a live, remote exercise program designed for cancer survivors who have completed their main treatment. It aims to improve side effects like fatigue, low physical function, anxiety, or nerve pain. You participate from home using video calls.
This trial compares two types of exercise—flexible resistance band training versus a type of muscle stimulation—to see which is safe and helpful during cancer treatment. It may help improve physical function while you’re receiving anti-cancer care.
