According to the hobbies and physical tolerance of colon cancer patients before surgery, choose some exercises within their ability, but avoid intense exercises such as boxing and weightlifting. The amount of daily activity should be planned and adjusted according to one's own tolerance, such as planning to walk twice a day, 10 to 15 minutes each time, and gradually increase after adaptation. Postoperative care for colon cancer should pay attention to the relative reduction when the body is unwell, and not to act too hastily.
