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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old
- You must be able and willing to voluntarily join the study
- You cannot have bone, joint, or muscle problems that would prevent you from doing physical tests
- You must not have significant memory or thinking problems
- You must not have a history of serious mental health conditions
- You cannot have had major surgery (other than your colorectal cancer treatment)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a breath analysis (a sample you give by breathing into a device) to help detect or better understand colorectal cancer. It may help researchers see whether breath results can identify cancer sooner and in people who haven’t started treatment yet.
This study tests whether a health behavior intervention—such as changes to diet, exercise, or lifestyle—can help colorectal cancer patients recover better after surgery. You would complete questionnaires about your habits and health over time.
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.
