Colon Cancer, Colorectal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
To learn if lifestyle changes (such as diet and exercise) combined with daily aspirin and vitamin D can affect the likelihood of advanced colorectal cancer coming back (recurring)
Detailed description
Primary Objective: To estimate the ctDNA clearance rate of colorectal cancer participants with minimal residual disease after 3 months of optimal lifestyle interventions Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the dynamics of ctDNA allele fractions after 3 months of optimal lifestyle interventions and every 3 months thereafter up to 12 months * To estimate the recurrence rate at 1 year in subjects who complete 3 months of optimal lifestyle interventions
Interventions
by mouth every day for up to 90 days
by mouth every day for up to 90 days
Patients will receive counseling promoting a plant-based diet and avoidance of Western dietary patterns in a one on one session with a licensed dietitian prior to day 1.
The exercise goal is to increase recreational physical activity from baseline by at least 10 MET hours per week, which is equivalent to 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly
Patients will undergo a one-on-one counseling session prior to day 1
