Impacts of Exercise on Prognostic Biomarkers in Lung Cancer Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, Healthy, no Evidence of Disease, Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

In brief

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies exercise intervention in improving quality of life and exercise capacity and reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with lung cancer and their support persons. Exercise therapy may help improve quality of life, may increase exercise capacity, and may reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with lung cancer and their supporters.
