ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a special exercise program designed for cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy. The main goal is to see if this program can be successfully offered to patients and how well they can follow it while they are receiving treatment. The program is tailored to the individual needs of each patient, which means it considers their unique situation and how they are feeling during chemotherapy.

To participate in this study, you must be over 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of early to mid-stage breast, ovarian, or colorectal cancer. You should also be scheduled to receive chemotherapy with the goal of curing your cancer and have your doctor's approval to engage in regular exercise. If you have advanced cancer, are receiving certain types of chemotherapy, or have other specific conditions, you may not be able to take part in this trial. If you join, you can expect to work with a team to develop an exercise plan that suits your needs while you go through your treatment. This trial is currently looking for participants, so it’s a great opportunity to explore how exercise might help you during your chemotherapy journey.
