Summary

Given the apparent effect of 18 metabolic equivalent task-hours of activity/week in improving disease free survival in patients with treated stage 3 colon cancer and the survival benefit of exercise demonstrated in patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer, the primary objective is to evaluate compliance at 6 months with post-treatment recommendations for a minimum of 18 metabolic units of physical activity each week in patients who have completed therapy for stage 2 and stage 3 colorectal cancer.
