This study tests whether a structured exercise program can improve the makeup of gut microbiota (gut bacteria) in people who have finished treatment for stage II–III colorectal cancer. It may help learn how exercise supports recovery, and it involves remote or in-person sessions with gut-focused tracking.
This trial tests whether an exercise program can help men with early-stage prostate cancer who are being monitored instead of treated. If you are not very active now, you may be able to join a structured exercise plan to see if it improves your health and cancer signs.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help reduce heart disease risk in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. Participants will exercise at home or in a group and be monitored for heart health changes.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent cancer from coming back in people who have been treated for certain solid tumors (colorectal, ovarian, lung, or breast cancer). If you've completed surgery and adjuvant therapy within the past 2 years and are currently not exercising much, you may be eligible. Participation involves following an exercise plan and regular check-ins.
