Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot clinical trial studies how well personalized dietary intervention works in managing bowel dysfunction and improving quality of life in stage I-III rectosigmoid cancer survivors. Personalized dietary intervention may help people understand bowel symptoms, identify helpful and troublesome foods for bowel symptoms, adjust diets and food preparation based on food triggers, and coach on healthy diet recommendations after cancer treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Administer and determine the feasibility of the personalized dietary intervention.

II. Using qualitative methods, evaluate the acceptability of the intervention as reported by survivors.

III. Explore decisional conflict associated with treatment decision-making in rectal cancer surgery.

OUTLINE:

At 6 months after standard of care treatment, patients receive 10 sessions of personalized dietary intervention over 30 minutes each over 4 months via the telephone. Patients also receive a workbook including reference materials and intervention content.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for 6 months.
