Summary

This study tests a 6-week health behavior program for 40 colorectal cancer patients who are at least 3 months past surgery. The program uses counseling and support to encourage healthy habits like diet and exercise. Researchers want to see if it's practical and helps improve patients' health behaviors and well-being.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: health behavior intervention program based on temporal self-regulation theory
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a practical, low-cost program to help colorectal cancer patients adopt healthier behaviors after surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply widely. The intervention is behavioral, not a medical treatment, so it won't directly affect the cancer itself.
