Clinical Trial Summary

Chemotherapy is a crucial treatment in the fight against colon cancer, but unfortunately, its impact is not limited to cancer cells alone. Chemotherapy drugs, designed to attack fast-growing cells, also affect healthy tissues, leading to various side effects. One of the most common adverse effects is peripheral neuropathy, a condition that affects the peripheral nerves and can manifest as tingling sensations, numbness, pain or weakness in the extremities. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy can be especially challenging for colon cancer patients, as it further aggravates quality of life during an already difficult period. Nerves responsible for motor and sensory function are compromised, affecting the patient's ability to perform daily activities and weakening their physical endurance. This phenomenon adds to the emotional and physical burden of fighting cancer. However, there are tools that can positively influence these adverse effects, such as physical exercise. Although it may seem contradictory, regular physical exercise has been shown to have beneficial effects on peripheral neuropathy. Physical exercise can improve blood circulation and promote regeneration of damaged peripheral nerves. In addition, exercise helps to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with neuropathy, thereby strengthening patients' functional capacity. It is essential to emphasize that any exercise plan must be tailored to the individual capabilities of each patient, and medical supervision is essential. Therefore, the combination of chemotherapy and carefully planned physical exercise offers a comprehensive strategy to address both the disease and its side effects, providing colon cancer patients with a better quality of life during their journey to recovery.
