What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a personalized referral to a targeted nutrition and exercise program for survivors of breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer. Participants will receive interventions including a Fitbit, a nutrition course, a physical activity program, and weekly one-on-one sessions with a registered dietitian and an exercise physiologist. The goal is to help these survivors adopt healthier eating habits and increase their physical activity levels. The study will assess whether these interventions lead to improved health outcomes for cancer survivors.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have completed primary treatment for breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer and are at least six months post-treatment.
Not a fit: Patients who are unable to participate in dietary changes or exercise due to medical contraindications may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for cancer survivors.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar interventions aimed at improving health outcomes in cancer survivors.
