Tracking energy changes during surgery in esophageal or lung cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body uses energy during surgery and whether those patterns relate to how well you do after surgery. It may help doctors better predict outcomes for people with newly diagnosed esophageal or lung cancer who are preparing for treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have newly diagnosed esophageal or lung cancer
- You are getting treatment before surgery (chemotherapy and/or radiation and/or immunotherapy)
- You will be seen through the POEM (Perioperative Evaluation and Management) Center or an anesthesiology specialist
- Your pre-surgery tests are already completed and you are cleared for anesthesia by the POEM Center
- You can sign the consent form and are able to be physically active enough for the plan (not bedridden or fully wheelchair-bound)

This trial tests whether a personalized exercise plan can help people with lung cancer who are getting chemotherapy or immunotherapy before surgery. You’ll be asked to follow an exercise routine during your treatment.
This study measures how well your heart and lungs work before and during lung cancer treatment using an exercise test. The goal is to understand how cancer treatment affects your physical fitness and help doctors better monitor your health.
This trial tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery can help people with moderate-to-high risk. Participants will exercise for a short period to see if it improves their recovery.
This study looks at how your body's energy use (metabolism) affects the risk of heart damage after major abdominal cancer surgery. By measuring your heart and lung fitness before surgery, researchers hope to find ways to prevent heart complications.
This study compares how well patients recover their heart and lung fitness after two types of lung surgery: removing a whole lobe versus removing a smaller part of the lung. It may help doctors understand which surgery leads to better recovery.
This trial tests whether doing exercise training before lung cancer surgery can help you recover better. It is for people with low fitness levels who live with another adult at home.
