Breathing and physical function as predictors of long-term outcomes after colorectal cancer

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort will enroll adults aged 18–80 with colorectal cancer at İnönü University's General Surgery Polyclinic and collect baseline respiratory function and functional status measurements. Participants will undergo standardized pulmonary function tests and simple physical performance assessments, and investigators will follow clinical records to record long-term outcomes such as survival and recurrence. Patients with musculoskeletal, cognitive, or psychiatric conditions or recent major surgery are excluded because they cannot reliably complete the tests. The analysis will look for associations between baseline respiratory and functional measures and later clinical outcomes to identify predictors of prognosis.
