First seen Dec 26, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a prehabilitation program (exercise and nutrition coaching) before surgery is practical for people with stage II or III rectal cancer. About 40 participants will either receive the program or usual care. The main goal is to see if enough people join and stick with the program, not yet to measure health outcomes.
