Official Title: The COURAGE Trial: Colon Recurrence and Aerobic Exercise: A Feasibility Study
Study ID: NCT02250053
Brief Summary: Despite the success of surgery and chemotherapy among people with colon cancer, 30-50% of patients develop recurrent disease. Physical activity has emerged as a potential lifestyle intervention to reduce cancer recurrence and improve survival among people with colon cancer (CC). This pilot study aims to identify the dose-response effects of aerobic exercise on molecular and cellular pathways associated with physical activity and CC outcomes among patients with stage II and III CC.
