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 trial tests whether a pre-surgery exercise program (called prehabilitation) helps improve recovery after colon cancer surgery. It's for older adults with colon cancer who are planning to have surgery.
This trial tests whether taking a nutritional supplement before and after surgery can help patients with colorectal cancer recover better after their operation. It may improve nutrition and healing, but we need to check if you are eligible first.
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.
