Summary
This study looks at how colorectal cancer affects the physical and emotional well-being of adolescents and young adults (ages 18-39). Researchers will measure symptoms like fatigue, pain, and anxiety, as well as physical fitness, to better understand the challenges these patients face. The goal is to use this information to design better support programs, including exercise plans, for young people with colorectal cancer.
