Feasibility of Exercise With Post-Op Lung Cancer Patients
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
In brief
Primary Objective: To examine the effects of an exercise training program on cardiopulmonary fitness in early-stage postoperative non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy Secondary Objectives: Determine patients' adherence levels to such a program during adjuvant chemotherapy Explore the effects of exercise training on treatment compliance and toxicity, and quality of life. To explore the effects of exercise training on markers of inflammation (e.g., c-reactive protein, immune response) in patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer
