First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looks at whether being more active, measured by daily steps from a smartwatch, helps people with advanced rectal cancer respond better to chemotherapy and radiation before surgery. About 100 participants will wear a Huawei smartwatch and fill out quality-of-life surveys. The goal is to see if higher step counts lead to fewer cancer cells left at surgery, but this is an observational study, not a treatment.
