Prospective Randomised Trial of Exercise and / or Antioxidants in COlorectal Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery.

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK. Surgical resection is the mainstay of curative therapy. With the screening program enabling early detection, surgery plays an important role in treatment strategies. Surgery imparts a significant physiological and psychological stress on cancer patients.Recent research has demonstrated that a fast-track approach utilising regional anaesthesia, early mobilisation and good oral intake can improve outcomes by reducing the physiological stress response to surgery. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a defined exercise programme can improve recovery and reduce complications after surgery.

结直肠癌（Colorectal cancer）是英国第四大常见恶性肿瘤。手术切除是其治愈性治疗的核心手段。随着筛查项目的推广实现早期检出，手术在结直肠癌的治疗策略中占据重要地位。手术会对癌症患者造成显著的生理与心理应激。近期研究证实，采用区域麻醉、早期下床活动与合理口服营养的快速康复方案，可通过降低手术引发的生理应激反应来改善患者预后。本研究的主要目标为明确标准化运动方案是否能够改善术后康复效果并降低并发症发生率。
