Exercise during chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a personalized exercise program during chemotherapy can change how your body processes fat. It may help improve treatment side effects and overall health.

This trial studies whether a “prehab” program—structured exercise and preparation—can help people keep up function while they are on chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. If you can safely exercise, the program may help you tolerate treatment and stay active.
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program can improve the health of your gut bacteria during chemotherapy for young-onset colorectal cancer. It aims to help you feel better and potentially improve how well your treatment works.
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 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 combination of resistance and aerobic exercise can improve quality of life for people starting their first round of chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. If you are newly diagnosed and not already exercising regularly, this study may help you feel better during treatment.
This trial tests whether aerobic exercise can help your immune system fight cancer better during chemotherapy or immunotherapy. It is for people with breast or colon cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
