How fitness and breathing affect colorectal cancer recovery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how your physical fitness and lung function may affect how well you do after colorectal cancer treatment. Researchers will test your strength, movement, and breathing to understand what helps people recover better long-term.

This study measures your lung function and physical fitness before surgery to see if these tests can predict how quickly you'll recover. The researchers want to understand which patients might have an easier or harder recovery after their operation.
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 study looks at how your sleep quality and emotional well-being before surgery might affect your recovery from colorectal cancer. By filling out questionnaires, you help doctors learn whether these factors play a role in the cancer coming back.
This trial looks at how your immune cells change before and after surgery for colorectal cancer, and whether those changes affect your long-term recovery. It may help doctors predict outcomes and improve care.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can improve quality of life for people with colorectal cancer. You may be asked to complete questionnaires in Mandarin/Taiwanese and follow exercise-related study rules to see if symptoms and daily well-being improve.
