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 compares two ways of preparing for a colonoscopy: using a prepackaged low-residue diet versus getting personal guidance on what to eat. The goal is to see which approach leads to a cleaner colon, which can make the procedure more effective.
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 study tests whether scheduling meals at specific times of day can improve how patients feel during cancer treatment. It is for Alaska Native or American Indian people with certain cancers (rectal, HER2+ or triple negative breast, or other solid tumors) who are receiving neoadjuvant (before surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) therapy.
This study tests whether nutrition support and exercise help patients with early-stage colon cancer recover better after surgery. Researchers will provide dietary guidance and a supervised exercise program tailored to your needs.
This trial tests a new combination of standard chemotherapy, immunotherapy (a drug that helps your immune system fight cancer), and a special diet and/or high-dose vitamin C before surgery for rectal cancer. It aims to shrink the tumor and improve surgery outcomes.
