Exercise may alter gut bacteria in colon cancer survivors, small study hopes to find out

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * 18-70 years of age * Previous diagnosis of stage II-III CRC cancer * No known current, recurrent, or metastatic disease * No comorbid or physical limitations that would limit participation at the discretion of the treating provider * At least 60 days to 3 years from last cancer-directed treatment (including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Elective surgery, including ileostomy reversal, is not counted in this timing but patients must be able to eat a normal diet, without post-operative dietary limitations) * Body mass index (BMI) 18.5-35 kg/m\^2 * Able to understand and willing to sign written informed consent in English * Access to phone for study contacts * Access to a smart phone or tablet to connect to the Polar H10 Heart rate sensor during remote exercise sessions and attend virtual exercise sessions * Be willing and able to attend up to 24 sessions in-person at the Fred Hutch Exercise Research Center Shared Resource or virtually via phone, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams, based on participant preference * Access to internet (internet access may be provided on a case-by-case basis to participants where access to internet would otherwise be the only barrier to participation) * Willingness to participate in all study activities * Completion of all run-in activities * Participants must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Scale of Performance Status score of 0 or 1 for performance status * Women must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant Exclusion Criteria: * Use of oral or intravenous antibiotics, antifungals, or antiparasitics during the past 6 months * Presence of an ileostomy or colostomy because of known changes to the gut microbiome with ileostomies and colostomies * Current status of underweight (BMI \< 18.5 kg/m\^2) or class II/III obesity (BMI ≥ 35.0 kg/m\^2) * Presence of inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis as these are known to baseline have differences in gut microbiome composition * Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant * Physician notification to not approach patient for the study
