This trial tests whether a short-term nutritional supplement combined with health education can improve recovery after surgery for colorectal cancer. It is for people with stage IIa, IIb, or IIIa colon or rectal cancer who have completed surgery and are able to engage in follow-up.
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise and nutrition program before rectal cancer surgery can help you recover faster and have fewer complications. If you are not very active right now, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether taking nutritional supplements before minimally invasive colorectal cancer surgery helps improve recovery and outcomes. Researchers want to see if extra nutrition helps your body heal better after the operation.
This trial studies whether a pre-surgery “prehabilitation” program can improve outcomes for people having colon cancer surgery. It focuses on patients who are planned for colon surgery and who have lower exercise/fitness capacity, to see if preparing your body ahead of time helps recovery.
This trial studies whether a supervised aerobic exercise program helps muscles “remodel” (change/strengthen) after colon or rectal cancer treatment. It may help people improve physical function during recovery, but you can only join if it’s safe for you and you can follow the study plan.
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.
